OVERVIEW
Hokkaido’s far east region is often described as the last unexplored frontier of Japan. The area is an ideal place to get in touch with mother nature and observe the flora and fauna which are unique to Hokkaido. On this tour we travel through a trio of National Parks that stand in eastern Hokkaido. During the journey we will also introduce you to local treasures, including the Ainu indigenous culture, the cuisine enjoyed by local fishermen, and the people who devote their lives to conserving the wetland and its inhabitants.
