HOKKAIDO: DAY 3 (7 Jun 2019) - Sounkyo - Ryusei Falls & Ginga Falls

Drove on Route 12 most of the time, stopping at AEON Takikawa (which you can see from Route 12) for a break and did some shopping.  Continued on Route 12 for a while and took the expressway to Kamikawa-Sounkyo from Asahikawa Takasu IC.

The Ryusei & Ginga Falls (MC 623 177 863) are next to each other and a short drive from the hotel along Route 39.  The Falls can easily be accessed from the car park. Obako gorge is about 4km away. 

 Spotted deers around Sounkyo:

Room @ Sounkyo Onsen Choyo Resort Hotel
Given a room facing the stream & lush greenery which was awesome.  Other than the small bathroom/toilet in the room, the hotel facility & room was good.  

Sumptuous Buffet Dinner @ Choyo Hotel

Lake Toya + Siro Observatory

From the room at The Lake View Toya Nonokaze Resort, you can catch awesome views of Lake Toya, a volcanic caldera lake:

Lake Hill Farm on the way to Niseko:

Siro Observatory (map code 321 726 758) & Wisteria Flowers (Fuji-no-hana)

Takahashi Farm + Milk Kobo @ Niseko (MC 398 321 073)

Mishima-san's Shibazakura (Pink Moss) @ Kutchan
One of the top 3 places in Hokkaido to visit for Pink Moss.  Missed the full bloom around mid-May but still a spectacular view of Shibazakura with Mt Yotei as the backdrop. It is a private garden of Mishima-san who has kindly opened up his garden for public viewing.

Shakotan: Cape Kamui (MC 932 553 879)

Fog started moving in shortly after we reached the top.  It would have taken another 20 min to walk to the tip but fog was very heavy so we turned back.
