Our stage this time is Akan in eastern Hokkaido Prefecture. The region's vast forests are dotted with volcanoes and lakes. During the harsh winter months, when the area is covered in deep snow, traveling by "fat bike," characterized by extremely thick tires, provides the chance to enjoy the great nature. In this episode, we ride a fat bike, which has traction on the snow and ice, to travel through the forest and on a frozen lake. We encounter some spectacular winter scenery shaped by snow and ice along the way, and fully enjoy the special experiences that only midwinter can offer, conveying the appeal of Hokkaido's nature in winter.
