~A beautiful "phantom bridge" left on the lake~

Beautiful yet sad. The Taushubetsu River Bridge, located over Lake Nukabira in Kamishihoro, Hokkaido, evokes such feelings in viewers.
This bridge was built in 1937 on the former Japanese National Railways Shihoro Line. It is said that the reason it is called the "Phantom Bridge" is not only because it sinks to the bottom of the lake depending on the season, but also because its beautiful appearance and the history of how it supported industry for a time and was eventually forgotten leave it etched in our minds like a mirage.

Spring Apr. to Jun.

We recommend wearing clothes that are easy to adjust your body temperature according to the temperature.

[Apr.]
The snow is starting to melt, the skunk cabbage is starting to bloom in the marshes, and the temperature is just right for a light coat or jacket.

[May.]
Nikko is warm, but the wind is still cold, and the weather is similar to Apr. in Honshu. It's a good idea to bring a jacket.

[Jun.]
With the continued good weather, various flowers are starting to bloom all at once. Sometimes short sleeves are fine, but it depends on the day.
