Lake Toya

I had a trip to Lake Toya, Hokkaido last Mon-Tues.

This summer, the weather has been very hot in many places of Japan. I was very happy to find that it was nice and cool there.

Here's the hotel. This was the site for the G8 Summit meeting in 2008.

Mount Yotei is sometimes called "Ezo Fuji" for its shape ("Ezo" is an old name for Hokkaido).

Cows lazed around a pasture close from the hotel.
