Alpine view

Great photography with “Picture of the Day” lately.

Photographers and hikers, we have ave seen 2 bear sows (2 cubs each!) and several inoshishi sows with many young foraging in the lowlands and forests during our springtime hikes.

If you are a new photography and hiking enthusiast, stay aware while taking pictures and stay far away from wild animals.

It's a fantastic route for cycling with the highest roads in Japan. And it's closed to traffic, buses and bicycles only.
