Summary
After riding the Shiretoko Pass, the adventure continued in eastern Hokkaido. Having spend the night at the Mashu Onsen Roadside Station, I drove to Ikenoyu Onsen to begin one of the most scenic rides I've ever done. From the very start of the Bihoro Pass the views were incredible and they just kept getting better and better. The panoramas of Lake Kussharo from the top were some of the most gorgeous views I've ever seen from the top of a pass. After rewarding myself with an ice cream and a famous ageimo the the Bihoro Pass Roadside Station the journey continued with a walk around the Wakoto Peninsula, a visit to the lakeside Ainu museum, and a stop at Sunayu to meet the legendary Kusshie before heading home. If you're planning a cycling trip, or just a trip for that matter, to eastern Hokkaido this place is packed with stunning scenery, local discoveries, and another unforgettable ride through Akan-Mashu National Park.
