3.5hours Primeval Forest Snowshoe hike and Wildlife Watching Tour
About this experience
The most unique aspect of this tour is that it takes you off the beaten path. These paths are originally created by wild animals, and following them gives us a true sense of the wilderness. There is a high likelihood of encountering wild animals along the way. If there is enough snow, we will use snowshoes, allowing us to walk anywhere on the snow. Sometimes, you can even spot the footprints of animals on the surface of the snow.
What to expect
This tour explores the primeval forests of Shiretoko using snowshoes, and takes you beyond the usual paths. We will guide you to one of the hidden waterfalls, “Tears of Man”, which freezes in winter. When the sea ice arrives at the coast, a vast field of ice appears covering the Sea of Okhotsk and creates a breathtaking landscape along with the Shiretoko Mountains tapped by silver-white snows. This tour often sees wildlife such as Ezo Sika Deer and Ezo Red Foxes.
