This unforgettable tour offers a deep connection with the untamed beauty of Eastern Hokkaido. Start with a canoe trip along the hidden source of the Kushiro River, accessible only with an expert local guide. As you paddle through tranquil waters, enjoy intimate encounters with untouched nature and wild creatures that thrive in this secret haven.

Guided by a seasoned birdwatching expert, observe and learn about native species such as woodpeckers and kingfishers. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced birder, you’ll gain valuable insight into local ecosystems and receive support with using binoculars or cameras for the best views.

What makes this tour special is the time dedicated to pause and connect with nature. At canoe docking points, you can stop to quietly observe birdsong and animal behavior without rushing.

The experience continues after dark with a stargazing session at Lake Mashu. With one of Japan’s clearest night skies, the stars and Milky Way appear vivid to the naked eye. A professional guide shares stories of the constellations for a magical end to the day.

The following morning, wake to a refreshing birdwatching walk along Lake Kussharo. At dawn, wild birds come alive in the crisp air, offering an ideal moment to absorb the sights and sounds of nature with the help of your guide.
