Mt. Furanodake in Autumn

Overview

The volcanic Mt. Furanodake rises in the south of the Taisetsu Mountain Range with a diverse environment. The program host sets out on a hike through a deep forest, crossing streams and enjoying beautiful waterfalls. After 2 hours of walking, he reaches an open space. It is a marshland formed by rainwater collecting on top of the lava. Later, we show you some footage of a Northern Pika that stores leaves in its den to survive the long winter in an alpine zone, where not many plants are able to grow.
