A compact resort town inside one of Hokkaido's most dramatic gorges, where columnar basalt cliffs rise up to 150 meters above the Ishikari River. Daisetsuzan National Park surrounds it on all sides. The gorge walking path through the canyon is one of Hokkaido's finest hikes. Ice sculptures fill the valley floor each February. In autumn the canyon walls turn gold and crimson.
