We Went to Asahikawa for THIS

Which one is your favorite? They are completely the same. This was supposed to be a hiking video but it's turning out to be something completely, completely different. If you ever find yourself in Asahikawa this hotel, remember Amanek. Good hotel if you want to be staying somewhere near the Asahikawa train station. This is where we are going now. Because next to the station is also buses. Bus stop. Bus station. And if there is a bus you can go somewhere interesting. Let me show you the station a bit. If we can go in. It's a very beautiful station. Very clean. Nice tables. You can go sit down. Very pleasant place to be. Luggage. Lockers. Vending machines. Only 4 buses a day going to the place we want to go to. Look, everyone wants to go somewhere interesting. Departure time is in 5 minutes. Ok. Bus. Ropeway station. And a shop and also a toilet. And a cafe. Go in. Go up. I'm kinda getting a feeling that it may be cloudy. Guys, let's take a look at socks. Take a good look because these views are much more beautiful than we are going to see today. Maybe that's the only view of volcano we are getting. Round trip. We can also walk. We can also walk but there is a possibility of encountering birds. Amazing. So we are taking a return cable car. I guess this is how much snow they are getting in the winter. 5 meters up to the window. Quite a fog. Lucky us. We are going on a short walk here. You can do a long hike. Many options. A full day hike. Or you can just go on a loop. And look at beautiful alpine flowers. iPhone is telling us to clean the camera lens. Lens is clean. In a few days it's like minus 2 here. During the night. This winter is starting here. And the good thing is that you can rent rubber boots here. For 500 yen it's about 3 euros. So you don't have to go in your white sneakers. Super unprepared we are. These are quite comfy actually. I like the sole. Yeah, it's thick. I would say even soft. Yeah, it's comfortable. Mine would not be so comfy for hiking. Because mine have a flat bottom. Guys, I will ask Unan a question. Which volcano do you like? Did you like the most? The one in Bali, Mexico or Japan? Which one is your favorite? They are completely the same. White fog and no visibility. No visibility. But if you ask me then my favorite is in Bali. Because in Mexico I also had just white clouds. I think I visited a couple at least one more volcano but I don't remember which one because it was like this again. So, yeah. They are all the same. Same, same. Same, same but different country. It's the same, same but different. Ok, we have made a big decision. We might be going for the summit because the trail looks very easy on the map. We'll start. We'll see. It's always possible to turn around. There was a change of plans. Guys, we are at the zoo. Hiking seemed pointless. It was very, very, very, very cloudy, foggy and no hope in seeing anything except rocks. 1000 yen. Asahiyama Zoo. This is pretty cool. Look how close they let you. Let's go further. This is so much better than I was expecting. This whole place. Day 2. Today we are gonna show you something more near this beautiful city. And finally, sun. It is the first sunny day since the start of our trip 10 days ago. We are going again to the station, but this time we are planning to take a train from here to a nearby town from what I understand. We have 20 minutes. Looking at the sky it seems like it would be a much better idea to go hiking today than yesterday. Ok, let's go and see what Bibaoshi can offer us on this beautiful sunny afternoon. We are still... Let me check the map. Direction is 1.9 km. It is better to go this way. We are going to see flowers. Beautiful flower field. Something that people travel to here for. As a result, we are also gonna see what it is like. Outside of a big city in Hokkaido, this is a hostel. Looks very Latvian-like. Yeah, and the clouds look exactly the same, because we also have these fluffy clouds. Yeah, it's crazy. I have also seen birch trees that look exactly like in Latvia. It's a very strange feeling being in Hokkaido. It feels very European. Very different from the rest of Japan. Very different from Okinawa for sure, but also from the surroundings of Kyoto or Tokyo or Nagoya. Looks like Latvia. The air smells like in Latvia, and even the water tastes like carbonated sparkling water that we have. This is, I don't know, what is this? 7-Eleven, but it tastes like what we have, mangali? I think mangali with lemon. 15 minutes later, we are approaching something. There are people. It's beautiful, this walk. Super beautiful. Very much like in Europe. First, Hokkaido milk, ice cream, then flowers. I have melon ice cream and Kasper's has melon and milk. Mmm, it's so good. We have 2 hours. They are open until 5 p.m. I was thinking that September is going to be very grey, brown. This is very very nice. That's it for this video. See you soon, most likely still from Japan. See ya!
