Ume’s research trip to foggy Eastern Hokkaido 7

February 9th, 2010

Morning activity entailed a walk along the Akan Lake, which sounds nice and relaxing but little did I realise that the day’s temperature was -2 degrees!

My warmest winter down jacket wasn’t enough, so the hotel was kind enough to lend me some of theirs.

 

Once all rugged up the crisp air was quite refreshing, your body feels so pure with all that oxygen going into your lungs.

I’m sure the walk is lovely when it’s a little warmer. I would love to come back around August to do some longer trekking.

 

Water around this part of the lake was warm. Apparently, it’s the hot spring coming through from underground.

Here’s the view of our hotel from distance. A real prime location as you can see.
