\r\nYesterday, I failed my sightseeing to stress reduction. It’s not enough to be satisfied, I stayed and came to Sounkyo (\u5c64\u96f2\u5ce1) to cycling.”Sounkyo is canyon that located Kamikawa town, Hokkaido. It’s in daisetsuzan national park, great walls along Ishikari river continue 24 km. Sounkyo Onsen is large scale spa town that on bottom of Mount Kurodake, it’s center of tourism of Sounkyo and Daisetu mountains.” (from Wikipedia) Today I start from hotel kanponoyado (\u304b\u3093\u307d\u306e\u5bbf) downstream of Sounkyo.<\/P>\r\n

\r\nManias know kanponoyado is ruins like this. I respect expression of the welcome with boldly using the building. But I don’t touch it now.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831101338DSC_0781.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI enter to national road No.39 and run a little, I can see the old brige on the left from Kotyoiwa bridge (\u80e1\u8776\u5ca9\u6a4b, koch\u014diwa bashi) . It easy to see from the road, and looks no obstacle, but I can’t find pictures on the bridge with google.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831102126DSC_0784.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nSo am I first on the web? It’s 2 spans langer bridge I saw from road. No side spans.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\r\nSorry for inclined cause bushes. Another one is blurred. Newel is retro with exposed-aggregate finish by washing. Its name is Ishikari river No.4 bridge (\u77f3\u72e9\u5ddd\u7b2c4\u53f7\u6a4b, isikarigawa daiyong\u014d bashi), built in August 1955 by the nameplate. The document said 61.5 m long, 4.5 m width, and somehow 30 m pony truss \u00d7 2 spans, but it’s completely langers.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831102134DSC_0785.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nAnd there is the sign that sets on downstream of dams, call attention to high flow. URL and QR drawn at right below, someone seems to came here 2000s.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831102346DSC_0790.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831102520DSC_0796.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nBushes cover whole surface on the bridge, steel arc pop out here. Through bridge is the picturesque. In 1955, it can across the river with 1 span, why construct purposely 2 spans. Is it frugality?<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831102430DSC_0792.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI see record plate of the bridge, surprisingly it built by the regional forestry office, but bridge rating is rate 1. Specifications (1939) decrees bridges of more than 8 m width in city area and national roads is rated 1. This built by regional forestry office, so it’s forest road, I think it’s built supposed use of national road future.\u3002<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831102752DSC_0804.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nBut the width is 1 lane unfit rate 1.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831103322DSC_0816.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831103200DSC_0811.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI finished cross the bridge. Now I know it’s forest road, I seem newels and short langers are over spec.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831105224DSC_0836.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI back to nationl road. The cliff surrounds Ishikari river No.4 bridge, the current place, and futurity.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831111342DSC_0839.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\n\r\nI am looked down by columnar joint, I arrive spa town of Sounkyo. But I don’t visit the spa, or climb mountains.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831111638DSC_0840.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831113414DSC_0849.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI watch 2 suspension bridges in spa town (right picture is off limit), and run national road. Today’s main is cycling.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831114506DSC_0853.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI didn’t enter Ginga tunnel (\u9280\u6cb3\u30c8\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb) , moved in Sobakudai (\u53cc\u7011\u53f0) direction. I like this Sounkyo syed (\u5c64\u96f2\u5ce1\u8986\u9053, s\u014dunky\u014d fukud\u014d) . \r\nIt has curvaceously. Side wall and ceiling are connected smoothly with rigid frames. The river side is open. The shed like this there is Nakayama pass near Sapporo<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831115452DSC_0859.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI through the shop and parking of Sobakudai, the road dead end with gate, so I stop dropping. Soubakudai is a picturesque place that has two tall waterfalls,so tourists stray into near here. If no bady here, I want to enter inside gate. In that situation, I’ll warp.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831132520DSC_0928.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nThud! I flies to Obako (\u5927\u51fd) the most upper stream of Sounkyo. Obako is completely vertical gorge, but I saw cliffs to my heart’s content, subject of the picture is an old road of national road. I want to enter here too, but tourists appear, take a lunch, during this other tourists come, bad spiral is starting.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831132736DSC_0935.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831124532DSC_0890.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831124224DSC_0882-2.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831124318DSC_0885.JPG\"<\/A>
Order by forestry agency, rate 1 bridge, tunnel differ both mouths, etc. it’s interesting only seen from the outside. But I feel uneasy about tourists.
\r\nThere is only the dam in range to go by bike, upper stream from here. So I’ll back to spa town.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831135452DSC_0938.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nI’ve backed but to the opposite shore of the spa town. There is old road here too. And Can you find tunnel in this picture? Before entering the tunnel, study in advance about the history of this road.
\r\nIn 1924, Hatsuichi Arai (\u8352\u4e95\u521d\u4e00) the spa hotel owner made walking road from Sounbetsu (\u53cc\u96f2\u5225, it’s place I started today) to spa town, on September 1926, it was improvement to roadway for cars. Upper stream of spa, started to make a forest road to Obako in 1927. So is the road I’m standing forest road? Answer is no.\r\nSounkyo forest railway (\u5c64\u96f2\u5ce1\u68ee\u6797\u9244\u9053, sounky\u014d shinrin tetud\u014d) that existed only a short period from 1944, when it converted to the forest road, route changed and digged tunnel here for don’t pass through spa town. It’s this road. The tunnel named Sounkyo zuido (\u5c64\u96f2\u5ce1\u96a7\u9053, s\u014dunky\u014dzuid\u014d), and build in 1954. \r\nIt seems built the same timing with Ishikarigawa No.4 bridge, by year and orderer.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831135802DSC_0944.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nThe history became clear, let’s enter into the tunnel…oh smell! It’s too smelly! Sulfur smell and warm wind blows out while I approach the hole. Like the large spa town that hot spring gushes forth inside. Though good ventilation, it’s the level of poisoning death. If wind is conversely, I might die. So I escape.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831141902DSC_0949.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nTo another side mouth. Here is behined of the fire department.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831143102DSC_0966.JPG\"<\/A> \"20110831142926DSC_0962.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nWind blows from this side, so no smell completely. But mustn’t enter. Because lack of oxygen occur in a moment. The nameplate that is written “Sunkyozuido” with skillful writing is set on upper of mouth.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831142950DSC_0963.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nDirty record plate on right side wall. I can’t reed, but \u81ea\u5df1\u6e80\u8db3\u3000\u5317\u6d77\u9053<\/A> tried to decipher.<\/P>\r\n

\r\n

\"20110831142812DSC_0957.JPG\"<\/A>
\r\nRed water that seems to integrate mineral is filled. Waste was thrown away. The wall is cracked and water permeates. It’s like a haunted house. Of course I took picture at outside.
\r\nI leave the tunnel I back. Today whiff too like yesterday. After having come this far, I’ll go somewhere.<\/P>\r\n\r\n
