Mt. Yotei, according to the introduction, is located on the shore of Lake Toya in Hokkaido, 1,898 meters above sea level, and is a conical active volcano.
At first glance, it looks very similar to Mt. Fuji. I took several photos of Mt. Yotei, with the blue sky as the background, clouds floating on Mt. Yotei, and unmelted ice and snow on the top of the mountain, which is quite beautiful.

A Record of My Romantic Winter Trip in January 2020~ The first day I arrived at Lake Toya was a very overcast day; the entire lake was shrouded in a gray haze, and Mount Yotei was completely invisible, but I still happily took photos for a long time, haha.
The second day, the sky cleared, and the scenery of Lake Toya instantly improved several levels.
The clear sky, dotted with a few small white clouds, made the lake surface appear a beautiful blue, and many, many ducklings were playing and frolicking on the lake. The distant mountain ranges and the snow-capped Mount Yotei were clearly visible—such a beautiful scene, peaceful and serene. Just sitting by the lake, gazing into the distance, and all my worries would disappear.

Never thought we would enjoy a chocolate factory so much even though we didn’t try any chocolate during the visit! It was very sighftul and yet full of surprises we walked till they close! Don’t forget to get the parking coupon vouchers from them to get discount off the carpark. We bought our tickets from trip.com and could use them instantly, offsetting coins! Best deal ever! The 6-years old daughter even tried a simple 10mins snack making course for 900yen!

Fukidashi Park is one of my favourite spot to see autumn leaf amongst locals and visitors alike. Not only that, this place is also home to spring water that has been on the ‘Japan’s 100 Best Spring Water’ list since 1985. Damn Cool!!!! However i have not finished exploring this beautiful place cuz so many good photogenic spots. So dont let autumn go without visiting this place.

The Half Moon Lakeside Park in Hokkaido is a natural wetland park with relatively few artificial structures. It is really comfortable to experience the feeling of nature when you go there.

Located in Noboribetsu, the beautiful and spectacular Noboribetsu Hell Valley is a scenic area. Formed by volcanoes, this valley is blessed with hot springs reaching temperatures of 80 degrees Celsius. The scent of sulfur can be smelled from time to time, and even the hot springs have a yellowish color. The magnificent Oyunuma Pond is truly breathtaking, making it a must-see. Noboribetsu Hell Valley truly lives up to its reputation!
