Plan description

This is a special experience of walking along a beautiful clear stream flowing from the vast beech forest of the Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Site. It will be held in the Fujikoto River in Akita Prefecture. The river is so clean that you can see the bottom. You will not meet anyone else during the trek. You can enjoy a sense of privacy. You may encounter birds and fish. A guide will accompany you, so even if you are new to river trekking, you can feel at ease. If it gets hot, you can swim or jump in. Lunch (included in the tour price) is a bento box made with locally grown rice and wild vegetables. You will eat it by the side of the clear stream. It is a day where you can feel the untouched nature with your whole body. On rainy days, you can change to Shirakami Forest trekking. [Fun after the tour] Original soft cream at "Mori no Eki", coffee brewed with Shirakami water, souvenirs, etc. Take a bath at "Yunosawa Onsenkyo". (Additional fee) Visit to "Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Center Fujisatokan" (free). Visit the Garo Falls, Choshi Falls, and Shiraito Nidan Falls. All are located close to the meeting and departure points.

You will be accompanied by a guide, so you don't have to worry even if it's your first time.

Beginners will be carefully taught. The program is adapted to the physical fitness of the participants. For those who don't usually exercise, take your time and enjoy it. For those who are physically fit, enjoy actively.

Popular lunch box included

A delicious lunch box from "Damakkoya" is included. The taste of a lunch box eaten outside is exceptional!

After the experience, go to the hot springs

There is a day spa near the meeting and departure point. There is an additional fee (about 500 yen) but you can enjoy it after the tour.
