This is my favorite logging road in Hokkaido. I like it so much that I visit here whenever I come to this island. A decade ago, I was addicted to riding a motorcycle on unpaved logging roads all around Japan and this trail is the best of best which is straight and bright, with bamboo leaves and white birches on both sides, and with a great mountain view. It is almost 40km long, which is rare in this small country. It is so pleasant that I used to ride on this road back and forth again and again. I was sorry I couldn't do that because I came here in a rent-a-car this time. The happiest thing is that on the end of this road, there is a hot spring. As there is a lodge by the hot spring, we can stay overnight and fully enjoy the spa. I enjoyed the midnight spa almost every two hours and found that taking a bath needs quite a little energy. I got so tired that I fell in a sleep until the late next morning. I think finding your own favorite place all around the world is a pleasure of traveling.
