Hokkaido Bicycle Tour Part 10_Otaru to Nanporo Flat farmlands
The last of the mountain passes leaving Otaru city as I ride off Rt. 5 into Rt. 337 flat farm lands to the Town of Nanporo. Strong head winds all through the way to Mei Campgrounds where I had stayed 3 nights having the whole campground park to myself.
Hokkaido Bicycle Tour_ Part 5: Exploring Mt. YOTEI / Niseko
R&R (Relax and Riding) around the town of Niseko, known for its popularity during winter seasons and its iconic National park Mt. Yotei. A 1'898 meter elevation stratovolcano I dreamed of climbing was an opportunity failure due to my indecisions and unorganized Bicycle touring schedule. I had 3 chances to climb this volcano leaving one of my few goals unfulfilled on this tour. Jojo's café, Niseko exquisite cuisine, Hokkaido ice cream, many places I've visited and great people quite made up for my losses.
