OVERVIEW
This is an early morning tour to walk around Maruyama and enjoy bird watching. We will look for wild birds in the Maruyama forest loved by local people. After climbing Maruyama, it is time for Nodate. Nodate means outdoor tea ceremony. While listening to the chirping of wild birds, we will have a special tea ceremony time. Please enjoy a valuable moment that you can experience only in Sapporo.
