Furano, Mt. Ashibetsu-dake 2011/1/30 22:42
Hi Forum,

does anyone have experiences hiking up to Mt. Ashibetsu-dake (for a day-trip) in the greater area of Furano? Is this hike and especially the view from the summit worthwhile? I own the lonelyplanet guide 'Hiking in Japan' but would like to have some more detailed maps... maybe I can get any recommendations here...

Thank you very much
