Our stage today is Mt. Yotei, located in the Niseko area. It is also known as “Ezo Fuji” due to its beautiful figure. The mountain, which can be circled in about an hour by car, has many viewpoints making it a popular tourist destination. Our host explores the forest near the foot of Mt. Yotei. There, he encounters a giant Japanese Oak tree over 100 years old while heading to a beautiful lake that was created by water that gathered in an old crater.
