My friend Tomo, an experienced mountaineer, joined me and knew the mountain well. Our goal: to witness a breathtaking sunrise and the sparkling city lights from the summit. At 1235 meters, with the base nearly at sea level, we planned a two-stage climb.</p> https://clustersandclimate.com/outdoor/night-trek-to-sapporo-dake-hokkaido/ Sun, 25 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://clustersandclimate.com/outdoor/night-trek-to-sapporo-dake-hokkaido/ <p>Sapporo (札幌) is the vibrant capital of Hokkaido Island (北海道), a paradise for mountain lovers, ocean seekers, and anyone looking to escape the bustle of big cities. The region is dotted with small (やま) and medium (だけ) sized mountains, ranging from 300 to 1300 meters high. Among these, Sapporo Dake (札幌岳)—also known as Mt. Sapporo—stands out as a favorite for trekkers, rising to about 1250 meters.</p>
