Mount Soranuma
空沼岳
Sapporo, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,251 m
Mount Soranuma is a 1,250.8 m peak in Sapporo's Minami Ward, designated as a Class 1 Special Protection Zone within Shikotsu-Tōya National Park. Its name derives from the Sora-numa marsh on the south side; to the north lie the equally picturesque Manke-numa and Masarenu-numa marshes, with wetland-and-forest scenery that defines the route. The trailhead is about 40 minutes by car from central Sapporo, and the summit, reached in roughly three hours, opens onto a 360-degree panorama. Beloved year-round — wildflowers in summer, autumn foliage, and ski touring in winter — the peak appears in Hana no Hyakumeizan, Hokkaidō Hyakumeizan, and Sapporo 50.
