What to Explore – Hokkaido’s Treasures

1. Nature Hokkaido is proud to share its nature with breathtaking landscapes constantly changing all four seasons of the year. Meet the graceful Japanese Red-Headed Cranes in the vast Kushiro Marshlands. Canoe through peaceful lakes and rivers, or trek through towering mountains and see the steam rising from active volcanoes up close. The hot springs on the island are sure to relax your mind and enliven your soul. Watch the mysterious drift ice flowing in to the Okhotsk Sea, a rare beauty. The Shiretoko World Nature Heritage Site in northeast Hokkaido is well-known for its untouched nature, a rich environment vital for rare species such as theBlakiston's Fish-Owl, Stellar's Sea-Eagle, and White-tailed Sea-Eagle. You may even see Brown Bears and their cubs catching fresh salmon! Let us be your guide to experience the rich nature of Hokkaido.Shiretoko World Natural Heritage Site Wildlife Cruise (Video Link)
2.  Culture Meet the Ainu people of Hokkaido, a rare community with rich culture in the arts, music, and ceremonial customs. Marvel at the sculptures of Kan Yasuda, a talented Hokkaido artist with worldwide fame. One of the best ways to experience the culture and lifestyle of the land is through food. Japanese cuisine is worldwide famous, but did you know that most of the seafood served in Tokyo is actually from Hokkaido? Why not eat it fresh here? Three oceans, fresh air, fresh water flowing from the mountains, and never-ending plains topped with passionate farmers, make many of the best ingredients in all of Japan. We offer tours to meet the locals and learn their culture first-hand; cook with a fisherman’s wife, or harvest ingredients for a pizza baked right on the fields.The Ainu People of Hokkaido (Video Link:) // Hokkaido Artist Kan Yasuda’s Marble and Bronze Sculpture Park (Video Link)

Enjoy rafting, cycling, hiking, canoeing, skiing and snowboarding in powder snow at Niseko and more (by CAT or by helicopter too!).
