当日は今期初めての最高気温が一桁の寒さで、中止になるかなと思いましたが、その時の状況で、風の少ない場所に変えてくれたおかげで、天気は晴れていたので大丈夫でした。 ウエットスーツを着ると寒さを感じず楽しめました。 洞爺湖と山の景色はとても美しく、初めは景色を楽しむ余裕はなかったですが、徐々に慣れて、自然と一体化した気分でとても気持ちよかったです。 途中、偶然この湖に住んでいる2羽の白鳥と共に並んで進んだり、楽しかったです。 また、インストラクターの方がドローンで撮影してくれた写真がまたとても綺麗でいい思い出になりました。焚き火とともに食べた焼きマシュマロも美味しかったです。今シーズンは終わりとのことで、また来年参加したいと思いました。 他の場所でもやっていると聞いてそちらも行ってみたいです。

Walking around the lake, you can not only smell the sulfur, but also see the source of the hot springs, which are always smoking and bubbling, and the yellow sulfur balls floating on the lake surface are particularly eye-catching. ▼The outdoor foot bath experience requires walking a long mountain path, which is still relatively primitive, but that is probably to protect the original ecosystem.

Volcanic activity continued until September 10, 1945, and there were 17 relatively active volcanic events in two years. In commemoration of this volcanic activity, a new volcano with an elevation of 398 meters was designated a Special Natural Monument in 1957 and named "Showa Shinzan". It is a "new mountain" that is still growing, and white smoke can be seen constantly spewing from the reddish-brown mountains. ▼ At the bear ranch near the entrance to the Showa Shinzan cable car, about 100 purebred Hokkaido brown bears are kept. Brown bears are the largest wild mammals in Hokkaido. You can feed the brown bears at the bear ranch. When they see food, they stand up and wave at the tourists. They are very cute and adorable.
