After 2 days in Kuwayu-Onsen we went for a canoe trip on Kussharo river with the guides of Riverandfield.com.
The guide steering at the back, Phil at the stern and Fränzi relaxed in between;-)

Afterwards the guide dropped us well ahead on the road in the direction of lake Akanko. Thanks! After a few minutes of walk a nice man with his camping bus even offered us a ride, which we thankfully accepted. Already at 1 o’clock we reached Akan-Onsen.
Here we are since two days, enjoing the Marimo (balls of algae) und Bokke (blubbering muddholes) and hiking. Yesterday we hiked the volcano O-Akan-Dake and tomorrow we’ll hike to lake Onneto over Meakan-Dake.
