Autumn in the Taisetsu Mountain Range

Our stage this time is the Taisetsu Mountain Range, which is consisting of several peaks over 2,000 meters above sea level and is designated a national park, the largest in Japan. Our program host explores the numerous ponds located at the mountainside. Autumn arrives early here in the Taisetsu Mountain Range, where the fall foliage is at its most beautiful in late September, and magnificent scenery colored in bright red and yellow spreads out. Later, we show you rare footage of some wildlife that inhabits near the summit, preparing for the winter.
