Entry starts March 1st.
Where: Toyako-cho
This flat course takes you around Lake Toya with views of Mt. Yotei and the smoking Mt. Usu. A beautiful course to run in the spring time with pink and white blossoming trees lining the course.
If you go up a day early you can camp lakeside and save some cash while enjoying what nature has to offer. We always do.
