Experience
Forest Walk in Shirogane Primeval Forest
Forest walking tour in Daisetsuzan national park with a nature guide. This tour is sure to be an eye opener!
Forget everything you thought you knew about the forest. When you explore it with a nature guide, you'll discover many wonderful surprises!
A fallen tree that resembles a green swiss roll cake, the roots of a tree that appear to be on tiptoes... there's a reason behind all of this, the beautiful craft that the forest has built up over such a long time.
Stroll through the mysterious trees and go hunting for the mysteries of the forest!
