Mt. Tossho

Our stage this time is Mt. Tossho, which is located north of Asahikawa, Hokkaido’s second-largest city with a population of over 300,000. Since long ago, people use firewood from the mountain, which is indispensable for their lives. Our program host, Charlotte Kate Fox, tries her hand at splitting firewood with an axe. After that, she enjoys outdoor activities including a nice warm fire from her own cut firewood. Later, we’ll show you many treasures of Mt. Tossho, such as one of Japan’s largest clusters of Fawn Liles, blossoming as the winter snows have melted.
