Hokkaido

This is at the top of one of the many active volcanoes in Japan. I think Bek is tickling Kunugi-san to make him laugh.


We went to lake Toya in Hokkaido, which is a volcanic lake. In the middle is a reserve filled with deer. So we took a stroll, as we haven't been into the Japanese wilderness much yet.



There is a famous zoo in Asahikawa, where the animals are kept in quite interesting and stimulating environments. I thought these monkeys looked pretty cool trying to catch the eye of the zoo keepers inside.


Here is the second volcanic lake we visited. This was the best day for weather, as we were driving to the hotel. After this there was heavy mist and rain and we could barely see anything going over the hills.



Japanese hotels think of everything, even a handy place to store your children.
