Mt. Usu Ropeway!

by Kazu

Normally, the rope way transportation service has to be closed before five o'clock in the evening but we could use the rope way on that day. Watching Mt. Showa Shinzan, we went up to the peak of Mt. Usu. 

Do you know that the peak of Mt. Showa Shinzan is still getting higher and bigger ?
It is growing little bit by little bit. The flat place near Lake Toya erupted and such mountain was made many years ago.

A part of Lake Toya coud be seen from the gondola of the rope way. For the security of the facility and the tourists, one or two staff have to stay on the top of the mountain every night.
