Today's stage is Mt. Furanodake, located in the Tokachi mountain range within the greater Taisetsu mountain range. Mt. Furanodake is known as the treasure box of alpine plants since it has around 100 species, approximately 1/5th of the entire number of alpine plant species in Japan. Our show's host will try trekking through the Tokachi mountain range with a mountain guide to experience the dynamic mountains that stand over 2000 meters tall. In addition, we will see rare footage of a flower known as the "Queen of Alpine Plants", as well as the Northern Pika, which crossed over from a different continent during the ice age.
