Mukawa River in Hokkaido is one of the cleanest rivers in Japan. It is the main stream of the Mukawa River system, running north to south for 135 km before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. Mukawa Town, through which the Mukawa River flows, was formed in 2006 by the merger of Hobetsu Town and Mukawa Town. Located in the southern part of the central Hokkaido region, it is surrounded on three sides by the outer edge of the Hidaka Mountains, and faces the Pacific Ocean to the south. It is close to Sapporo City, Chitose City, and Tomakomai City, and is blessed with a diverse natural environment, including the sea, mountains, rivers, and plains. With the summer season just around the corner, we will focus on rafting, an activity that can be enjoyed using meltwater and the rapids of the Mukawa River! Late April to mid-May is the best season for rafting, as the rivers swell with the melting snow! You can enjoy the rapids, which are the best part of rafting. Furthermore, typhoon season and after rain are the best times to go, as the water volume increases temporarily and the current becomes stronger. Here are some recommended experience plans that allow you to experience the rapids and nature that are unique to Hokkaido! If you've seen it on social media or would like to try whitewater rafting, be sure to visit during the 2019 season.
Time flies and April is almost over this year, and we are about to enter Golden Week. In the Kanto region, the season of falling cherry blossoms has passed, and the warmth of the days is becoming more noticeable. However, there is still a time when cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in the Japanese archipelago. That is Hokkaido. Cherry blossom forecasts have been announced just before the 10-day holiday, with Hakodate on April 26th and Sapporo on April 28th. The northern land, which is dyed pink with cherry blossoms during Golden Week, seems to be more popular than ever. In Hokkaido, the recommended place to visit from April to May is Furano City. When you hear Furano, many people probably think of the TV drama "From the North Country". There must be many people who have dreamed of living a quiet life in an environment rich in nature. Furano, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery that is comparable to the world of the drama, has a precious scene that can only be seen from the end of April to the end of May. This is because the cherry blossoms and lavender fields are in full bloom at the same time. There are many Instagram-worthy flower lands and lavender gardens, and the scenery is a combination of majestic rural landscapes and beautiful flower fields. Hidden observation decks and ropeways that allow you to see both at the same time are also popular, making it a tourist spot where you will never run out of photo opportunities. Here, we will introduce a carefully selected plan for the river activity "rafting" that will allow you to become one with the nature of Furano and enjoy sightseeing to the fullest!
Hello to everyone who is viewing Activity Japan. I'm so stuck at home that I don't leave the house. But I want to go on a trip somewhere... I was really jealous when I heard that my friend went to Hokkaido, but I shiver just thinking about -15 degrees Celsius. But I want to go somewhere. When I think of activities that can be enjoyed in the winter, I think of physically hard things like skiing and snowboarding, but I was looking for something that I wanted to do and relax, and I found out about the experience of riding a hot air balloon. It's a much easier way to fulfill your "desire to fly in the sky" than skydiving or paragliding. But with a hot air balloon experience, you're just riding, so I guess it's more like floating on a vehicle than flying in the sky. I'm curious to know how much of a floating sensation you can experience.
Furano City, also known as the "Heso Town," is located almost in the center of Hokkaido and is famous as a lavender village overlooking Mt. Tokachi. Furano is 150 km away from New Chitose Airport, but you can travel there by direct bus or train. Renting a car is recommended as it allows you to travel freely around the area! During the peak season from mid-July to early August, the hills are covered with lavender, and in winter, skiing and snowboarding events are held at Furano Ski Resort, which is crowded with tourists. In addition, the center of Furano City is full of popular tourist spots such as the "From the North Country" Museum, Furano Marche, which has a wide selection of local ingredients, Gokokuzan Furano Temple, the mountains of the Daisetsu Mountain Range, and parks with spectacular views! Here are the top 10 recommended gourmet and leisure spots in Furano!
