Japan - 6 Oct. 2004

We got off the train at Kamikawa(上川) and took a bus for Sounkyo(層雲峡). We got off the bus at Sounkyo bus terminal.
It is the second time we live in this Youth Hostel.
In 1993, We came here in winter. There were some volunteers from Youth Hostel who guided us to have a walk in 大雪山国立公園 from 黑岳（1,984m) to 北海岳（2,149m）,北鎮岳（2,244m） and back to 黒岳(1,984m）.
We took the cable car and ropeway from Sounkyo(層雲峡) to 黒岳.
