What are Mt. Yotei and Kyogoku Fukidashi Park like?
Mt. Yotei is a beautiful cone-shaped mountain called “Ezo Fuji” (the Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido). You can see it from anywhere in the Shiribeshi region.
At Fukidashi Park in Kyogoku Town, you can collect spring water that comes from snow and rain that fell on Mt. Yotei and took a long time to come out of the ground. The “Yotei no Fukidashi Yusui” spring has been selected as one of “Japan’s 100 Best Waters.”
