We went to Hokkaido’s highest volcano – Hiking in JAPAN 🇯🇵

As I was planning our travels in Hokkaido – Japan, I stumbled upon the island’s tallest peak, Asahi-Dake. @davewfilms and I have always wanted to hike together and wanted to utilise the opportunity of being in rural Japan by visiting the 2268-square-kilometre Daisetsu-zan, Hokkaido’s largest national park.

The thought of summiting the peak crossed our mind but we weren’t too ambitious. We took it slow by having a steady pace while ascending. The absence of modern distractions allowed us to immerse ourselves in nature. Each steady breath became our guide, a rhythmic reminder of our existence and being alive. We were able to hike until post 8 which was 2065 m in terms of altitude before we decided to descend.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and YouTube creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.

My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher—my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on YouTube, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.

Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on YouTube.

  1. I climbed Asahidake in the spring about 15 years ago and the end of the climb a masive thunderstorm came and we got very wet but it was still a great hike.

  2. Amazingly beautiful hike indeed Syifa ☺️👍 Amazingly presented video as always ☺️

  3. Great video of a great part of Japan. Question: Did you take turns to go back and get the camera after you walked past it? Or was it just Dave's job? 😀

  4. What a beautiful cinematography my friend, your narration and energy are amazing! Absolutely amazing!!!

  5. Excellent video dear Syifa. But I have tell you three things of today’s video.
    1. Brave couple 💕
    2. First time you kissed Dave 🥰
    3. U could share a piece of prawn to Dave 😜🤪

  6. I also like to watch such big birds, I like it very much, I also do tracking, I like this video very much, Japan is a very beautiful country.❤

  7. I may have missed it in the video, but what month were you traveling? Thanks, I enjoyed watching 🙂✌️

  8. Hi, for your Mt Asahidake hike, WHEN did you ascend it? You mentioned Autumn in your video – was it end Sep? We are considering hiking it in Autumn. There was only snow from Post 8 in your video, and this is really a surprise as the official site of Mt Asahidake shows snow at the Ropeway summit station. Thanks for your reply.

  9. Kak Syifa Adriana. I like your videos. Watching your video adds to my understanding of various nations and cultures. It's amazing. Stay healthy, keep travelling and sharing experiences. Greetings from Semarang. Indonesia.

  10. 8合目ふきんで下山されたのは賢明な措置だと思いますよ!
    日本を楽しんでいただくことは大変ありがたいですが、海外の方の、富士山の装備不良登山やbackcountry skiingでのaccidentのrescue費用はJapanese people's taxで賄われていることは認識して頂きたいと思います。

  11. Thank you so much for the beautiful video. I would like to visit Hokkaido myself one day. Actually slurping is slightly considered a no no in Japan, but a number of people do it when especially eating noodles getting some air into the mouth so as not to burn their tongues😀 I'm Japanese, but I try not to make noise when eating noodles or soup😀

  12. I am doing this tomorrow morning. I was hoping to take the ferry, but my stand-by reservation for a room was unfilled, so I booked a plane to Sapporo from Narita, then booked into a hotel in Asahikawa to catch the 7am bus to Asahidake Ropeway. As for the bear bell, not sure it's necessary. I mean, in the Rockies, they said it wasn't much use – a hungry bear will attack anyway. So I just hike loudly with a pole, striking rocks as loud as possible. And in bushy areas, I had my music playing loud on a mp3 player. Seems like it worked, I'm here in one piece lol
