【北海道】最果ての地は野生の王国だった – 秋の北海道を旅する【中標津・野付半島編】

Hi, this is Fuu here. This video is a continuation from Traveling through Hokkaido in Autumn (Eastern Hokkaido Edition). If you haven’t seen the previous video, please be sure to watch it too. We left Nakashibetsu city a little early in the morning and headed first to Kaiyodai via North Route 19 which also known as Milk Road. Kaiyodai. We arrived at Kaiyodai. Let’s head to the observation deck first. I’m already out of breath because I haven’t been getting enough exercise. Finally made it to the top! But then I realized there are extra stairs to get up to the observation deck. Let’s try a little harder and go all the way to the top. The roof is built like an amphitheater. I wonder if they hold music events there? Anyway, let’s start by taking in the view. To the north of the observation deck are a series of mountains, including Mt. Musa. We will circle the observation deck from here. The reflections of the morning mist are dazzling, but the view is very nice. The grasslands of the Konsen Plateau spread out below us, and the horizon is so beautiful. And to the west is the town-run Kaiyodai Ranch. From summer to autumn, Kaiyodai Ranch is home to about 1,000 dairy cows over six months old, taken in by dairy farmers who graze there, and it has been likened to a cow nursery. We can also see Kunashiri Island, an island that is close yet far away. Shall we head back to the parking lot? There is a statue of a mother and baby cow. Let’s go see it. Hokkaido Heritage Site, the lattice-shaped windbreak forest of the Konsen Plateau. Here I see a bell. Let’s drop in too. The bell of happiness. Trying ringing it. We have returned to the parking lot. Let’s take another look at the view around here. Hey Crow, can you show us the way? Never mind! I can’t see any cows today. There is a walking path from the parking lot to the ranch, where you can get a close look at the grazing cows. If you have the time and energy after enjoying the view from the high ground at Kaiyodai, be sure to check it out. This time we really enjoyed the view from Kaiyodai. The only thing I regret is that I missed out on the honey soft serve ice cream because the shop wasn’t open yet, but I’ll save that for next time. We took a few photos on Milk Road. Looking at it this way, this road also looks like a road to heaven or rather, a road that ascends to heaven. Move to next destination. Our destination is Notsuke Peninsula. This is our first time visiting the Notsuke Peninsula in autumn, so we’re excited to see what kind of scenery awaits us! We’ve entered the Notsuke Peninsula. The sea is sparkling and beautiful! We’ve reached the beginning of Route 950. There are lots of Ezo deer, so let’s go see them. Her fur is still in summer Bambi pattern. This mother and child have changed into their winter fur. It seems the Ezo deer are also changing their clothes and starting to prepare for winter. Visible in the distance is the Notsukezaki Lighthouse. Legend has it that the cape once housed a dragon that could sink ships, making it also known as Ryujinzaki. The legend (summary) is as follows. Please pause if you want to read more slowly. Long ago, there was a highly skilled young man named Sohei, a fisherman with a long history. One calm day, Sohei went out fishing with his friends, but they were caught in a sudden violent storm at Cape Notsuke, and all of his friends were swept away by the sea. Just as Sohei was about to give up, a beautiful young woman approached him and enveloped him in her beautiful clothes. He lost consciousness, but when he woke up, he found himself on the calm sandy beach of Cape Notsuke, with the young woman who had rescued him beside him. They talked at length, eventually falling in love and promising to marry. When Sohei returned to his village after a long absence, his parents were overjoyed to see him safe. Seeing his return in good health, parents urged him to pursue the marriage proposal they had been considering for some time. The bride was the daughter of a fishing boss. Sohei refused, saying he was already engaged to be married to another woman, but his parents did not approve. After much deliberation, Sohei finally agreed to marry the daughter of the fishing boss. In Sohei’s village, it was customary for the bride and groom to fish alone after their wedding, and following this custom, Sohei and his wife chose a calm day to set out on their first fishing trip. However, as the boat approached Cape Notsuke, the weather suddenly changed and the sea became extremely rough. Just then, the beautiful young woman who had once saved Sohei appeared, transformed into a terrifying dragon, and the boat Sohei and his wife were on was dragged to the bottom of the sea, never to return. Since then, the dragon has been worshipped as a dragon god to appease the dragon that often sinks boats carrying young women. Let’s head toward the Nature Center. Ezo deer have appeared on the road. It’s dangerous if they jump in front of our car, so we’ll wait and see them. We can see the surrounding mountains clearly because of good weather. From the Notsuke Peninsula, you can see the famous mountains from Akan to Shiretoko. It feels luxurious to be able to see so many mountains at once. There are plenty of Ezo deer here, too! I thought it was a group of male deer, but there are also female deer. Considering autumn is Ezo deer’s breeding season, is this a matchmaking party? Or rather, is it more like a battlefield where male deer are fighting over females. I saw several male deer fighting. A red fox! A red fox left in a hurry… Notsuke Peninsula is the closest to Kunashiri Island, only 16km away. As an aside, I heard that Kunashiri Island has columnar joints called Zaimokuiwa, and it looked like a spectacular sight in the photos. I imagine there are other beautiful natural sights to see, so it’s a shame that I can’t go across. Notsuke Peninsula Nature Center We took a break at the Nature Center and walked around the area a bit. The footage from inside the center was of low quality, so I decided to shelv it (it just means I’m not good at taking videos). There are another Ezo deer here. There are definitely more deer than people here. Every time I come here, I feel like humans are intruding on Ezo deer country. I found the red fox here. Is it a fox which we saw earlier? I wanted to see its face a little more clearly. Can you see a tractor bus moving? The tractor bus runs between the Notsuke Peninsula Nature Center and the Todowara Boardwalk (500 yen one way). It’s convenient for shortening sightseeing time. Please check the official website for operating periods and times. It’s about time to move on. We ‘d have liked to go see Todowara as well, but due to time constraints, we’ll have to wait until another time. So sorry if there are people who wanted to see Todowara. Next time we come, we’ll make time to go to Todowara. We found a place where coralgrass was blooming, so we took some photos in short time. We were curious about the red plant growing here and there in the wetlands, and we asked someone at the nature center about it. They told us that it was indeed coral grass. We couldn’t enter the wetlands, so we could only admire it from afar, but we felt like we’d gained something. We also stopped by Narawara. While Todowara is a forest of Sakhalin fir, Narawara is a place where a forest of Mongolian oak has died. This is viewed from the observation area on the opposite bank, but compared to Todowara, it seems that there are many dead trees that have retained their original shape. In fact, the most impressive thing about visiting the Notsuke Peninsula in autumn was this field of Japanese pampas grass fields that spreads out as far as the eye could see. The sight of the Japanese pampas grass swaying in the wind and shining silver in the sunlight was so beautiful it can’t be put into words. We leave the Notsuke Peninsula while admiring the Japanese pampas grass fields. We depart the Notsuke Peninsula and head along the coastline. Our next destination is Rausu Town. So the next video will be about the World Heritage Site of Shiretoko.
