| Close to Sounkyo Onsen, one can take a cable car, followed by a chair-lift, to get very close to the 1,984 meter Kuro-Dake (Black Mountain). | On our final day in Hokkaido, we finally got some nice weather, and we therefore got to enjoy some marvelous views of the Daisetsu-zan National Park. |

| A picture of Yuka and I taking the cable car up to the top. | The surrounding scenery was simply stunning. |

 |
| My family and Yuka gathered for a nice photo opportunity. | Some more Japanese mountains. |

 |
| While only in early October, Hokkaido had already experienced some snowfall. | We also stopped by the Ginga Falls, which is located just a few minutes drive from the cable car entrance. |
