TOIMOK（トイモク）
Activity
TOIMOK offers courses that allow you to fully enjoy the nature of Chitose and Tomakomai in central Hokkaido! Many people may think of Chitose and Tomakomai as airports and ferry terminals, but in fact they are sacred places for salmon, and there are many parks where birdwatchers from all over the country gather, and even today, rich nature is spread all over the place. The Chitose River, which is the main course, flows from Lake Shikotsu, which has one of the highest transparency in the country, and the Naibetsu River, a tributary that joins it halfway, has been selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan. You may be able to find many salmon relatives, including chum salmon, cherry salmon, and rainbow trout! ? Also, if you look around the surrounding trees, you can hear the Japanese tit, a bird with grammar, the Japanese long-tailed tit that has suddenly risen up the star road, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the drumming of a woodpecker. The flow of the river is neither too fast nor too slow, so even beginners can enjoy river rafting! It's conveniently located less than 30 minutes from New Chitose Airport, so you can come directly from the airport, or use it as a way to create lasting memories on your way home. Of course, we're looking forward to people from within Hokkaido joining us!
My grandmother's house was in Hokkaido, so I came to Hokkaido often from my childhood. I remember that my uncle, who was a timetable expert and was in the tourism industry, took me to all kinds of places. Thanks to him, I was able to cover most of the tourist spots in Hokkaido. Seven years ago, I came to Kushiro and started working as a canoe guide. After guiding the source of the Kushiro River in Teshikaga Town and the Kushiro Marshlands, I moved to Tomakomai City in 2024 and became independent. (I still often go to guide the Kushiro River.) I have always loved nature and often jumped into the grass, and I remember jumping in and getting bitten by caterpillars and saying "Guu... nature... guu...". I am still learning, but I think I am somewhat knowledgeable about birds, salmon (salmonidae), trees, brown bears (Hokkaido's mammals), Ainu culture (I go to Upopoy or Nibutani once a week), and wild plants, so please feel free to ask me anything! From my late teens to early twenties, I wandered around overseas (about 50 countries?). The story of being scammed in India is a nostalgic memory now... hee... it's just a memory. Around this time, I was almost at my wit's end due to the loneliness, sadness and uncertainty I felt abroad, but I think my shy personality improved a little. Combined with my work as a guide, I'm now seen as a rare cheerful person. In the winter, I often go to help out at the Japanese restaurant my brother runs in Senegal, West Africa. This is getting long, so I'll tell you more on the tour!
