Northern Wildlife Tour

With its long, slender shape stretching through multiple climate zones, Japan boasts an astounding variety of flora and fauna. Far at the country’s wild, northern tip, East Hokkaido’s lush and untamed landscapes are filled with fascinating animals, from brown bears and Ezo red foxes, to white-tailed eagles and red-crowned cranes. By sea and by land, immerse yourself in these rugged territories for a chance to spot these rare creatures.

4 days / 3 nights

From $2,150 per person

Arrive at the East Hokkaido airport of your choice. In the afternoon, board a local boat to cruise the coastline for a chance to spot the area’s bears as they search the shore for food. Nightfall brings yet more discovery as you join a guided nature walk in search of the forest’s furry and feathered, nocturnal residents.

In the morning, lace your boots a meet your local nature guide for a light hike through the Shiretoko Five Lakes area. Afterward, your private driver will transfer you to your next, exciting destination - Teshikaga and the famed Lake Kussharo.

Start the day with a guided hike on the slopes of Mt. Io. This highly active (but completely safe!) volcano frequently spews forth smoke and sulfurous gasses, a poignant reminder of earth’s power. In the afternoon, climb inside a canoe to ply the still waters of Lake Kussharo and the slow-moving Kushiro River with your local guide.

In the morning, your private driver will transfer you to the East Hokkaido airport of your choice for departure to your next destination.
