However, on a clear day the 4-6 hour tour is straight forward and the descent is one of the longest in Hokkaido. Keep in mind that it can be busy (for Hokkaido) on those rare clear days. The descent takes in a long alpine section and then the classic trees that Niseko is famous for. A must do.

Information some of the other volcanoes in Hokkaido will be available in the spring of 2007.
