Chasing the footprints of a rabbit, or holding your breath not to surprise the deer that came to drink water, are probably some of the things you have always wanted to do!
In this tour, you get the chance to take one step closer to that dream, by walking into the true nature of Hokkaido.
You will not only see powerful drift ice of the northern sea, glamorous cranes, and sparkling diamond dust in the mornings; we invite you even deeper into nature by snow trekking in the Daisetsu Mountains, and exploring the Kushiro River up close, by canoe. There is no better way to experience Hokkaido’s nature, than to dive in with all of your five senses!

Chitose Airport - Asahidake
Welcome to Hokkaido! Meet your driver at the airport and depart for Hokkaido's peak, the Daisetsu Mountains.
Depending on the time of your arrival, you may also drive by Asahikawa to eat some delicious Ramen and visit the Asahiyama Zoo before checking in at your hotel for the night.
DAY
Asahidake - Sounkyo
Take a deep breath of fresh air, and let your eyes marvel at the pure white winter landscape surrounding you by taking the Asahidake Ropeway up the Daisetsu Mountains. Enjoy snowshoe trekking with a professional guide, a great way to explore the lands. Climb a bit further from the top of the ropeway to see powerful steam rising out of the volcano. You can really feel the strength of nature. Finish the day at one of the best Onsen in Hokkaido: Sounkyo Onsen.
