Temperature: minus 10 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen)

The snow on the road was muddy although the snow has just been removed. Probably they don’t clear the snow thoroughly in this season. After doing the interval training at the summit several times, he descended up to the Fukiage Hot Springs (Fukiage Onsen). The wheels have been taken by the snow many time due to the muddy snow. He did a long sprint training on a small hill near the Fukiage Hot Springs.
