北海道之旅 - 昭和新山 Mt Showa Shinzan

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6728.html

This mountain located above sea level 406.9 meters was formed by an elevation caused by the earthquake on 28Dec1943 from a flat wheat field to its current height of 290 meters between 1943 and 1945, is one of Japan's youngest mountains and it still venting sulfurous fumes today.

这座山脉位于海拔406.9米高，它是在1943年12月28日间因地震而从平地标高290米后凸起的。它也是当今日本“最年轻”的山脉之一，如今仍然可以看到白烟不停地从一旁冒出。

北海道之旅-西山火口散策路 Nishiyama Crater Trail

An eruption volcano craters formed by the eruption of Mt Usuzan on 31Mar2000 at 1.08pm.

这个小镇在2000年 3月31日下午1.08分的地震中给塌陷了。现在这里已成为旅游景点。身为游客的我，对于这小镇所发生的种种记载，感触良多，只觉得自己应该感恩能到此一游，亲眼目睹这一切 (大自然的超能力是多么的可怕)。

北海道的廁所文化 Million Dollar Toilet

Boyo Nakayama road station

这座百万元建造的休息站, 里头有快餐店, 餐馆, 精品店等等..., 应有尽有, 旁边还有一间大超市, 停车免费，里头几乎所有吃的都可试吃, 还包括酒类呢, 我们在上了厕所后, 逛了一圈, 也品尝了一些食物 (是试吃啦!), 买了些水果后又继续赶路。在此, 我只能说, 日本的"试吃"文化很大方。

This 1.6 million US dollars log house, equipped with shops and restaurants, beside the station is a supermarket, you may try out the free samples readily available here.
