Bear Mountain Aquarium! ?

Children who have a low perspective will be more interested in the rainbow trout than the bear, shouting "It's a fish!" Some children are constantly chasing rainbow trout as if they were in an aquarium. This rainbow trout is one of the pioneers who didn't catch a bear at the Golden Week event "Challenge to Catch Rainbow Trout!" ? We will spend time here while sharing snacks from the brown bears. Is brown bear food nutritious? In the fall, the rainbow trout also grow to large sizes. The bears to watch out for are Hirotake and Joyner. Hirotake in particular is an expert at catching fish.He dives deep into the water, opens his eyes wide, and chases down a rainbow trout to the edge of the pond...smack! ! ! ! Rainbow trout also swim desperately to avoid being caught. If the timing isn't right, you won't be able to see the fish being caught, but we recommend catching them in the morning (and early in the morning).

It's not Kyoto, it's Sahoro.

Yesterday evening, I had some business to go to Karikachi Kogen Park, and when I stopped by to take a photo of the plum garden, I encountered 4 sika deer! I thought it was running away to the back, but it stopped and seemed to be paying attention to me. I captured the situation on video. Plum blossoms are dancing and it feels like Kyoto. (I've never seen the combination of plum and deer in Kyoto, but this is just an image.) It's blurry in my hand, but I hope you enjoy the combination of plum and deer.

Karikatsu Kogen Ecotrocco will be introduced in TV Asahi "Paradise of Life"!

“Karikachi Kogen Eco Trolley” is located 5 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. It will be featured on TV Asahi's ``Paradise of Life'' as a dream eco-truck. This is not about Bear Mountain, but it is an eco-trolley that is popular in the same Sahoro area, so I would like to inform you about it. The best way to find out more is to watch the program, so please take a look. Well, that's why today is the secret of Eco Trolley? A little introduction. This is the part you can't see because it's usually covered. This is a point switching device. You can change it with a switch.Left) There is a gap on the track in the back.Right) There is a gap on the track in the front.By switching this, the eco-trolley can move in the direction (track) you want to go. This device is also made by hand and has two other points. The photo shows a switch type, but there are also load type and some type (I forget). I'm sorry for not being able to convey the secret you taught me well. When it first opened three years ago, it was a single-track course where you would go and come back, but it has been renewed every year and has been upgraded with curves, traffic lights, and railroad crossings. In addition, the interior of the sleeper train behind the steam locomotive is turned into a museum, and is a must-see not only for railway fans but also for people with nostalgic memories of the past, as well as children. All of the staff members are very kind and passionate, so if you start talking about railways, you're sure to have a great time! That's right. Anyway, if you see a bear, take the eco-trolley. After enjoying the eco-trolley, we also saw a bear. If you go to Sahoro, please enjoy both ☆ ■Paradise of Life May 28th (Sat) 18:00-18:30 TV Asahi "Satsuki no 4 Hokkaido Shintoku Town Departure Progress!

Sakura in full bloom

The cherry blossoms at Karikachi Kogen Park are at their peak. This is a row of cherry blossom trees along the Eco Trolley. Flowering is late this year. I had predicted that, but the weather was nice last week and the temperature was high, so I caught up with it by about the same day last year. As you can see, you can see the row of cherry blossom trees along the old national highway. The forecast was for rain until noon today, but the weather is sunny and perfect for cherry blossom viewing. The flowers in the plum garden are also in full bloom. And we found about 1,600 test plum trees. It's fun to try and find out where they are.

What's in the picture, Part 2: The answer.

We recommend that you read the May 18th Bear Mountain Newsletter and ``What's in the Picture? Part 2'' first. Now, I'll reveal the answer. First, please take a look at the photo in question. The answer is "bird." And there are two birds. You can clearly see the same kind of bird above the bird. I wonder if they're a pair. What do you think? Bird name: Turtle dove (also known as wood pigeon, it is probably more commonly called by this name) Calls (this can vary): ``De-de-poppo'' or ``ho-ho-ho-ho''.

Karikachi Kogen Park is about 5 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. I have seen Sakura's condition. Here is the row of cherry blossom trees in front of the Karikachi Kogen Eco Trolley on the way to Sahoro Country Club.Left) Photographed today Right) Photographed May 22, 2010 Cherry blossom trees along the old national highway The cherry blossoms in the foreground were in bloom for about a minute. The weather has been nice for the past three days, so the buds have swelled and bloomed all at once. If you look to the left from the row of cherry blossom trees on the old national highway, you will see a plum garden. Plum blossoms are still blooming. It blooms when the cherry blossoms finish. There are also a few more cherry blossoms in Bear Mountain.

May 10th ``What's in the photo?'' Did you see it?☆ I'm sure you already know the answer, but I'd like to announce the answer. The correct answer was a bird (probably a warbler). There is a great chance to observe birds from the 5m high promenade! We will be closed tomorrow as it is a public holiday.

The view is the best!

In early spring, the trees have not yet lost their leaves, so you can see the distant scenery clearly. This is the view towards Tokachi about 30m after entering the promenade course. You can probably see East Nupukausinupuri, West Nupukausinupuri, and even Mt. Upepesanke. In front of the majestic scenery, the two were taking a nice nap. When I got closer with the 12x zoom, each one of them raised their heads and appeared in the photo. These two are here. Please watch carefully so you don't miss anything.

It's already warm and comfortable.

Just about 10 days ago. It's today. Warm. That's nice, spring. The photo shows a willow tree inside Bear Mountain. When it comes to ``Ezonobakko willow,'' the yellow color is Obana, and the green color (slightly larger than Obana) is Mebana. Which one, Mr. Kuma? It feels good. My eyes are closing. Oh my God. Oh, sorry. At the place of rest. I woke you up. Sorry to bother you. Excuse me.

High probability of encounter!

We are approaching the summer solstice, and the days are getting longer. Is that why they use the daffodil plaza (as I like to call it) as a feeding ground? There is a high probability of encountering sika deer. Will you be there today too? When I prepared my camera and headed there...☆ Even though I was being warned, I took great photos so that I couldn't run away. It checked on me for a while, then gradually moved away and hopped back to the deep forest (?).

What does it show?

Bear Mountain is closed today. The bustle of Golden Week is so quiet it seems like a lie. Today I went out to see the row of cherry blossom trees on the old national highway at Karikachi Kogen Park, which is located across the national highway. As for Sakura...not yet. Of all the photos I took, the one on the left made me wonder, ``Why did you take this?'' I remembered! I took a picture of ○○☆ Try to find what's in the picture.

spring ephemerals

Sahoro Resort Hotel is located about 2 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. The spring ephemerals around the hotel are finally starting to be seen. Usually, they bloom as soon as Golden Week begins, but this year they are late. Katakuri: From now on, the tepals will bend backwards, and the best time to see them will come. Lower left: Ezoengosaku It is easy to find because it grows naturally on slopes. Bottom right: Katakuri and Azumaichige, Azumaichige is also known as ``rainfall flower,'' and there is a theory that if you pick it, it will bring rain. After enjoying the brown bears, why not take a walk around the hotel and meet the spring ephemerals and feel the spring? The Chishima cherry tree in front of the hotel doesn't look like it's going to bloom yet.

Try catching rainbow trout! 3rd day

By the third day, Santa was already used to it, and today he set up at the pond early to eat rainbow trout. Just as I thought! It fell from above again today♪ I confirmed that it had entered the pond. I missed it... Santa stands up as a reminder. So, it's huge. The Koji and rainbow trout in the back were fighting each other to intimidate! Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Things settled down without turning into a physical fight. Relieved, I turned my gaze to the glass surface and saw that he had entered today as well! ! And with a big smile. The deer tries to intimidate the bear out of revenge, but it's in vain because it doesn't take him. I rode the Sahorogondra alone and returned to the mountain. (Shika-kun never stops smiling even at times like this)

Will “Santa’s rainbow trout catch” be a success?

It's snowing today. Hmm, don't give in to the cold and bloom. The building you can see on the right is "Bear Point". There are staff members on top of the building. At the bottom is Santa. The staff is throwing rainbow trout into the pond. Will Santa be able to catch a rainbow trout? Santa is waiting for a rainbow trout. I'm looking up. Maybe the staff moved. Santa is also on the move. There was a splash of water in front of me, and a rainbow trout was thrown in. I wonder if he's following me with his eyes. Now it's time for the battle. Capturing with right front paw. Struggle in vain. Failure. disappointing. I found a rainbow trout swimming leisurely. I wonder if Santa is begging the staff. After this, it was successful after a few seconds. It hurts that I can't show it to you. "Rainbow trout catching" at Bear Point will also be held tomorrow, May 5th. Please come and join us. The event time is from 11:00 to 13:00.

First, take a commemorative photo in front of the bear watching bus! And see you off. If you break into the promenade, you can also take a commemorative photo here!

There will be a JAF child safety license issuance event tomorrow. 10:00 - Available to the first 100 children. Deer may also invade again, so stay tuned.

On the second day of GW, which was blessed with good weather, today's photos are taken from the bear watching bus.
