Toshiyuki Ishikawa, a resident of Obihiro City in Hokkaido, shares a breathtaking evening scene from Mt. Asahidake （2,291ｍ）— the highest peak of Hokkaido

March 25, 2026

On a day blessed with clear, stable weather, I fulfilled a long-held wish – to take photograph mountains in the evening light from the snow-covered summit of Mt. Asahidake 

Before reaching the summit, my goal was to see Mt. Tomuraushi at sunset but Mt. Hokuchindake was the best as the way the light hit the mountain.

It was magnificent that Mt Hokuchindake changed colors minute by minute from white to yellow, orange, red, pink, and blue. In addition, I was impressed by the view that we can only see in the snowy mountains such as skavla,After sunset, I began my descent via the well-maintained ski slope near Sugatami Ropeway Station.
