Recently, we created a new exhibit panel that introduces the Hidaka Mountains. The exhibit compares two photos, one from the Tokachi side and one from the Hidaka side.

The Mt. Apoi Geopark is planning to hold a pre-tour around the Hidaka Mountains prior to the Japanese National Geopark Conference in Tokachidake Geopark in September 2025. I think the tour would be more enjoyable after viewing this exhibit.

Additionally, since the area was designated as a national park in 2024, we wanted to create a related exhibit so visitors could enjoy the mountains by climbing and just by viewing their surroundings. This photo was previously on display at the Visitor Center, but we moved it to a more prominent location and made one large panel.

These photos were provided to the Visitor Center.
