Sounkyo Hot Spring, Red Leaf Valley, Miracle Lights
The Sounkyo Onsen Autumn Foliage Valley Miracle Illumination, held annually at the foot of Daisetsuzan Mountain in the Sounkyo Onsen area, one of Japan's earliest areas to capture autumn foliage, uses light and shadow technology to create a dazzling spectacle of shimmering maple leaves like a Ryusei Waterfalls shower, blending seamlessly with the magnificent natural landscape of Sounkyo. Strolling along the autumn foliage trails at night feels like stepping into a fairytale world.
Use the free light and shadow effect umbrella to make the photos you take more colorful!
Kurodake Ropeway (Sounkyo Station ~ Kurodake Station) - Departing from Sounkyo Onsen Town, take the 1,984-meter-long Kurodake Ropeway to the 1,300-meter-high Kurodake 5th Station and embark on a magnificent journey through the maple-covered valley.
From late September to early October every year, the Kurodake mountain area enters the autumn leaf season and is the first mountain area in Hokkaido to turn red. As the cable car slowly rises, you'll see a spectacular sea of maple leaves in yellow, orange and crimson. The mountains and forests look as hot as if they were burning, and the beauty is breathtaking. The Takamatsudai Observatory and the forest walking trail around the fifth station are great places to enjoy the maple leaves. The trail is covered with fallen leaves, as if you have walked into an autumn fairy tale world. Along the way, you can also admire the autumn appearance of alpine plants and take photos of the beautiful reflections and golden sunlight shining through the forest.
Akage・Ginsendai - Located in the Daisetsuzan Mountains, Ginsendai is a place where you can see the burning red maple forests in the fall. Combined with the Akage main peak and the mountains in the distance, the layers of progressive colors are breathtakingly beautiful. In addition to the maple leaves and larch turning yellow, you can also see lovely alpine plants swaying in the autumn sun along the way, with sharp color contrasts.
Shikisai-no-Oka - A must-see spot in the Furano-Biei area! The endless sea of flowers, the distant Tokachi-dake and Furano-dake, and the blue sky and white clouds form a picturesque scenery. From spring to autumn, the flowers are in full bloom, and in winter you can ride snowmobiles. No matter when in the year, you will feel that the trip is worthwhile. In autumn, on the gently undulating hills, red, orange and golden yellow are interwoven into warm color bands, as if the earth has specially prepared a palette for autumn, painting a tranquil scene.
Biei Blue Pond - The colors change subtly depending on the season and weather. From mid-May to late June, when the weather is clear, the water is a crystal clear cobalt blue that looks like a fantasy. When the autumn breeze blows gently across the earth, the clear blue pond stands quietly like a gem, reflecting the golden and fiery red maple leaves on the shore, interweaving a dreamy autumn picture. In winter, when it snows and the pool water has not yet frozen, the surroundings are covered in silver and the plants in the pool are also covered with snow, adding to the dreamy and poetic atmosphere.
Ginga Ryusei Waterfalls- Ryusei Waterfalls, also known as Mentaki, rolls down from an 80-meter-high cliff like a bundle of thick thread spools; while Ginga Waterfalls, also known as Womentaki, flows slowly down from a 120-meter-high cliff like white silk. The two waterfalls are symmetrically embedded in the valley wall and are listed as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan. When autumn comes, the canyon trees on both sides of the waterfall gradually turn golden and red. The majestic water flow and the red maple mountain scenery interweave to create an autumn painting that is beautiful in both movement and stillness.
Sounkyo Onsen Hotel Daisetsuzan - Located in the valley of Daisetsuzan National Park, Sounkyo Onsen Hotel Daisetsuzan has spacious and comfortable rooms with a full range of facilities. The hotel has an open-air hot spring pool and a large indoor bath on the rooftop. During the day, you can overlook the Sounkyo mountain view from the highest hill in the Sounkyo area, and at night you can enjoy a quiet bathing time under the stars. For breakfast and dinner, we offer a luxurious seafood buffet with local Hokkaido ingredients, allowing you to enjoy the fresh taste of the season.
