Tabemono Summer Vacation- Hokkaido/Tohoku 2016 Day 4- Chalet Fuyuri in Furano

Continued from the previous post here.   The beginning of our summer journey started here.

Mt. Asahi-dake is Hokkaido’s highest peak. Along the way, the landscape consisted of remote rice farms, trees, and lakes that were all green around us as it was the beginning of the summer months.  These farms which are called satoyama, appear as though they work with nature as opposed to totally changing the land to farmland.
