News of the scenery at Mt. Kurikoma (Mt. Sukawa) before its official opening and before the road reopens has reached us down at the foot of the mountain!
A spectacular view covered in snow. Around Sukawa Kogen Onsen, before the snow has been cleared, a precious snowy landscape stretches out just ahead of spring.
We were given photos taken during a preliminary inspection ahead of Sukawa Kogen Onsen’s opening, which we’d like to share with you.
Since staff involved use a snow vehicle for this inspection, this is a rare and precious view not often seen!
Mt. Kurikoma (Mt. Sukawa) Is Also Just Ahead of Spring — Sukawa Onsen Before Snow Removal Work
Past Shinyu Onsen in Genbi-cho, Ichinoseki City, the national highway is closed for the winter.
It seems they used a snow vehicle to make their way up to Sukawa Kogen Onsen.
This year, 2020, due to the warm winter, it seems there’s considerably less snow at Sukawa as well.
Even so, plenty of snow still covers the area!
Around Sukawa Onsen, it seems buildings suffer snow damage from drifts every year.
This spring too, repair work will likely be carried out.
The hot spring is still flowing away, just as it always does!

The community-based travel agency Maruku has introduced this precious scenery in video form.
We imagine many people can’t go out this spring 2020.
We hope Maruku’s video helps you feel like you’re out on an outing!
