When you think of river rafting, you think of summer, but Tokachi River can be enjoyed in winter as well. In early winter, you have a chance to see white-tailed eagles and Steller's sea eagles. The expression standing on the tree is very dignified and cool. The appearance of flying is elegant itself. There is no doubt that even adults will get excited. In addition to eagles, you can also see red-crowned cranes, whooper swans, and ducks. Also, in the midwinter, the rime and rime on cold days are very beautiful. The luxury of being alone in the cold and quiet river is exceptional. Let's enjoy the cold weather perfectly! By all means, please join us with your family, friends, couples, etc. to make memories of Tokachi, Hokkaido! ! *Since it is an experience in nature, we do not guarantee 100% encounters with wild birds. However, there are many opportunities to meet. *Please note that the event may not be held depending on weather conditions and snow conditions.

This is definitely a recommended plan for those who want to enjoy Hokkaido's winter to the fullest. Depart from Sapporo and experience snowshoeing and dog sledding in the Furano and Biei-machi areas, central Hokkaido. Enjoy local gourmet food, soak in the hot springs, and then enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel before heading home. We recommend the one-day adventure course. Our guides recommend this exciting adventure, where the sights change depending on the season.
Excellent tour!!! Our guide Kishi was great and we had an overall great experience. The only but for this tour is that the dog sledding is only 2 very short laps of about 1 minute each. I wish the dog sledding was at least 30 minute long. Everything else was really good.

This is a limited-time tour only available in autumn. You can observe the creatures in the river where Okhotsk salmon and autumn salmon naturally spawn. You can see salmon, of course, but also other creatures such as creatures that target fish and birds that steal eggs. Sometimes you can observe them close enough to take photos with your smartphone. The guide will prepare a filter that allows you to take beautiful photos of the fish without shining the river surface. On the morning of the day of fishing, you can also observe the fish being landed at the "Utoro Salmon Terrace". Please choose a tour at 7 or 8 o'clock on a weekday. (Fishing is suspended on Sundays and in bad weather.) The salmon return situation changes depending on natural conditions. If there are no salmon nearby, you will move by car, so we recommend that you participate by rental car. In the event of bad weather, we will contact you to cancel (or postpone if you wish).

Even during busy periods such as summer vacation and autumn holidays, you can experience the tranquility of Shiretoko here. This course passes through old development sites and forests to see the groundwater waterfalls that flow into the Sea of Okhotsk. On clear days, you can see the 200m high cliffs that stretch all the way to Cape Shiretoko. Like "Furepe Falls," this is a course to see cliff waterfalls, but this one is a bit wilder, with no walking trails and requiring climbing over logs. If it becomes dangerous due to a storm or other reasons, we will contact you by mobile phone and, if you wish, we will cancel (free of charge) or introduce you to an available tour the next day or later (same price).

Summer in Hokkaido is something that everyone wants to visit at least once. We will guide you through "Okhotsk", which is rich in nature even in Hokkaido, for a leisurely day. The theme of the Shiretoko area is "to fully enjoy nature". In the morning, a guided walk around the Shiretoko Goko Lakes takes you through the representative fields of Shiretoko. We will pick you up at a restaurant in Utoro for lunch. The remaining half day is trekking in the primeval forest. We will take you to a place with a superb view of cliffs and waterfalls by walking along the animal trail. You can immerse yourself in the charm of the world natural heritage Shiretoko through encounters with wild animals and dynamic scenery. *If the Shiretoko Five Lakes are closed due to brown bear appearances, snowfall, etc., there may be cases where the morning and afternoon tours are replaced, another course is offered, and the tour ends in half a day (in that case, a refund will be given). Please forgive me in advance. ◆This facility is registered as a nationwide travel support store that handles regional coupons. "Regional Coupons" can only be used for local payments.
We are a group of 5 pax and we had a great walk with Kanako san as our guide. We saw bear claws mark on the tree, bear paws print, deer skull and things we would have miss if we were to walk on our own. A deer suddenly ran towards us and stayed with us during our walk and Kanako San told us it not a good sign as the deer might have been spooked by a bear. It was a beautiful and exciting walk for us. Highly recommend Kanako san for your guided walk.

Walking through the secondary forest affected by the exploitation, you can see the majestic Shiretoko mountain from the natural grasslands, and from the observation deck you can see the Flepe waterfall flowing down from the cliff. Wild birds that can be observed for each environment, such as forested wild birds such as yellowfish, grassland birds such as white-faced red wild birds, sea birds such as sea bass, are different during walks.

Hokkaido Net Celeb Christmas Tree (about 15 minutes) Christmas Tree Tree Yule Tree is a spruce tree located on a gentle hillside in Biei Town, southeast of Asahikawa City. There are various theories about the origin of the name, such as that the shape of the tree resembles a Christmas tree or that the tip of the tree resembles a Christmas tree. The tree represents the shape of a star, that is, the name is related to a Christmas tree without decorations. This Christmas tree, which is beautiful day and night regardless of the season, is one of the most popular trees in Biei. ★ When taking photos, please "step back" and stand on the asphalt road to take a look. You can capture the blue sky, white clouds, and fields in the frame. ★ When tourists enter farmland to take photos, please "call out" and stop them, saying "Excuse me, please do not enter farmland." Biei Blue Pond (about 30 minutes) Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam built to hold back volcanic magma. It was named after the blue reflection of the pond's water when sunlight hits it. Shirakushi Falls (about 20 minutes) Shirakane Falls in Furano City, Hokkaido, is a waterfall with a drop of 30 meters and an altitude of 600 meters in the Shirogane Onsen area of Biei Town. It was named "Shiratsu Falls" because the water flows like a white beard from the gaps in the rocks. Return to Sapporo city and end your day trip happily!

Let's start a beautiful journey today Noboribetsu (about 60 minutes) In the ruins of a volcano in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, there remains a grassy area with a diameter of about 450 meters formed about 10,000 years ago. Noboribetsu Jigokudani got its name because it smells of sulfur and looks like you are in hell. Oyunuma is the remains of a crater formed when Hiyoriyama erupted, and sulfur springs at about 130 degrees gush out from the bottom of the pond, which is the source of Noboribetsu's main hot spring inns. There is an observation deck here where you can see the steaming lake right in front of you, and you can also walk around and experience the lake up close. As you walk around the lake, you can smell the sulfur, and you can see the hot springs that are always smoking and bubbling, and the yellow sulfur balls floating on the lake's surface are particularly noticeable. To experience a foot bath in nature, you have to walk a long mountain path. The mountain path is probably to protect the primitive ecosystem, but the view is worth the trip. The actual scenery is much more beautiful than in the photos. In winter, scenic spots are closed due to road conditions. Sightseeing around Lake Toya (approximately 120 minutes including free lunch time, the order of tours may change depending on traffic conditions, pick-up and drop-off conditions, and length of stay) Showa Shinzan Wakuma Ranch (60 minutes): On December 28, 1943, a strong earthquake occurred near Mount Usu on the shores of Lake Toya. As a result, a volcano erupted, and the ground rose rapidly to form a tall mountain. Volcanic activity As of September 10, 1945, there had been 17 relatively active volcanic activities in two years. To commemorate this volcanic activity, this new volcano, 398 meters above sea level, was designated a Special Natural Monument in 1957 and named Showa Shinzan. It is a "new mountain" that continues to grow even today, and white smoke can be seen constantly rising from the red-brown mountains. 8 Impressive Views of Lake Toya (10 minutes): Lake Toya, a freshwater lake in southwestern Hokkaido. A caldera lake. It has a diameter of about 10 km, is almost circular, and has an area of 70.72 sq km. Circumference 50 km. Deepest point 180.0 meters. Average water depth 117.0 meters. Water storage capacity 8.19 cubic kilometers. The lake is at an elevation of 84 meters. It is the northernmost ice-free lake in Japan.

When you think of Kushiro, many people will immediately think of red-crowned cranes. The sight of red-crowned cranes in winter is truly spectacular. There is no doubt that the beauty of the cranes against the snowy fields will impress anyone. There are places near Kushiro where you can see red-crowned cranes even in summer. Near Kushiro Airport are the Red-crowned Crane Nature Park and Kushiro City Zoo. You can learn a lot about red-crowned cranes and see them all year round. If you are lucky, you may find a zookeeper there who will call you close to them. Kushiro City Zoo is also home to the Red-crowned Crane Conservation and Breeding Center. - Example - Kushiro Airport ⇒ Red-crowned Crane Nature Park ⇒ Kushiro Marsh Observation Deck ⇒ Kushiro City

You can see many red-crowned cranes in eastern Hokkaido around Kushiro, and here you can see the red-crowned cranes vs. food thieves, which you can't see at other feeding sites. Due to bird flu measures, you can no longer see Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles as much as before, but you can see Ezo deer, swans, white-tailed eagles, etc. trying to steal the food from the red-crowned cranes. When they were feeding the cranes with raw fish, this was the only place in the world where you could see the red-crowned cranes vs. eagles fighting over food. (Only during feeding time) There is an admission fee to the Akan International Crane Center (480 yen for adults). I hope that one day I will be able to see the same scene again.

Kushiro has many sunny days in the winter, so you can take better photos. In the evening, you can also see the cranes, dyed in the setting sun, flying in formation to their roosts. (Depending on the weather) Kushiro city - Tsurui village (Tsurumidai, Ito Sanctuary, Otowa Bridge) - Kushiro city

This course takes you all around the Kushiro Marsh, the 28th national park established and the largest naturally rich low-lying marsh in Japan with the largest horizontal extent. View the Kushiro Marsh from the eastern (western) observation deck, then walk along an unpaved road to the western (eastern) observation deck. If you are confident in your time and stamina, there are also some places you can walk (or climb?) to see, such as the Kottaro Marsh Observation Deck, Sarubo Observation Deck, and Yumegaoka Observation Deck. Along the way, you might encounter red-crowned cranes, Ezo deer, or Ezo red foxes (which appear irregularly).

From Hosooka Observatory (east side), you can see the Kushiro Marsh and the meandering Kushiro River in the Kushiro Marsh, the 28th national park and the largest naturally rich low-lying marsh in Japan with a horizontal spread. The view from Hosooka Observatory, also known as the "Great View," is spectacular, and on a clear day you can see the Akan Mountains. Watching the sunset from Hosooka Observatory has also become popular recently. The untouched Hosooka Observatory is an observation deck that cannot be reached by large tourist buses. There is also a course that combines the Norokko train ride, where you can ride one way through the marsh from Kushiro city to Hosooka Observatory to Kushiro city, and then take a taxi back to see the Kushiro Marsh from a different angle.
