  down like a roller coaster. You can see the magnificent views of the
  Daisetsuzan mountain range and the Tokachi mountain range, and enjoy the
  spectacular scenery typical of Hokkaido, such as long straight roads and hilly
  landscapes with farmland. Unlike the surrounding tourist spots, it is far from
