Entrance city of this area is Asahikawa.
The city located center of the land Hokkaido and second biggest city in the land.This city has developped at the branch of Ishikari river
and now population is over 360 thousand.
Going parallel with river is common way taking deep into unknown wilder area.I think here is a terminal of early visitor because
the upstream rivers aren't easy to climb. In modern history of Japan, small town had become a step for farming.
Train had been reached yet on early reclamation period in Hokkaido.The town had got a role for the entrance for inner land.
Now airplane,train and highway bus connected from other cities in Hokkaido.
Several direct flights to Asahikawa is also available for visitor who starts form Tokyo.Easy access makes the city be entrance of sightseeing.
Behind the city,volcanic mountains Daisetuzan place.A peak of this mountains called
Asahidake is the highest point of Hokkaido.Elevation of this peak is 2290 meter.Around the mountains,the largest natinal park overspreads.
You will be able to know so many sightseeing resources are over this area.
