Mount Hachatan, a legendary ice and snow wonderland

Every year from late September to October, the mountain is painted red and yellow by maple trees and mountain ash. Mount Tansho 萢 mountain at an altitude of 1320 meters by cable car, and you can have a panoramic view of Hokkaido in the distance. Although the day is cool, there is a good autumn with thick colors. Interested friends can be included in the travel plan in October

Mount Hachata is a paradise for skiers, but it is also very friendly for non-skiers: the rugged tree monsters make you feel like you are in the world of giants; Pink waxy waxy snow, you can even lie on it wanton roll; When you step on the snow, it makes a crunching sound, and every frame evokes the innocence in you. So even if you don't ski, take a trip to Mount Hachata and let your childhood self be with you in the here and now, across time and space.

【Tips】
Please pay attention to the departure schedule, it is recommended to queue at least 20 minutes in advance to the platform, otherwise it is likely to be unable to sit on this bus, and it will not increase the number of trains because of the queue. In winter, there are few trains, so if you can't catch the bus, you have to take a taxi.

Hats, scarves, gloves, sunglasses, snow claws are essential, there are also snow boots to rent, if you do not mind can also rent to wear.
Know the weather in advance, the cable car may stop operating in bad weather. It is recommended to bring your own food and water, there is nothing at the top of the mountain, only a restaurant in front of the cable car station. Try to walk the road that has been traveled, the snow on the ground is very thick and loose, otherwise it may be able to step on its own into a deep hole.

It is said that this year is a warm winter, the tree ice is not as strong as in previous years, but it is quite spectacular for me, really special beautiful! Playing on the mountain until I missed the last bus shows how high it is. Fortunately, after I met the kind compatriots skiing group, let them take the bus to return to the city, otherwise the expensive taxi fare will make my heart completely frozen in the mountain of Hachata.
