Hope all travellers are in a peaceful world where they can travel safely and freely.

About access to MorinoKI in winter.

Coming here from Sapporo (Minami-Otaru station), there are routes which cannot be driven by car.


If you think you’re okay to go this way, your car can get stuck in the snow when you go up this steep road. Please make a detour even if it is troublesome.
You may walk this narrow path, but you will be very tired with a heavy suitcase.

When there is a lot of snow, it is only wide enough for one person to pass through.
No through traffic for vehicles from this point on

Happy New Year 2025!

Happy New Year 2025!
Wishing you a happy and best New Year for your journey
Hope all travelers are in a peaceful world where they can travel safely and freely.
