Saru River Headwaters Primeval Forest

A primeval forest spreading from the source of Saru River, one of Japan's cleanest rivers

Located on the Hidaka side of the Nissho Pass, this forest is designated as a National Natural Monument. It is part of the Hidakasanmyaku-Erimo-Tokachi National Park and serves as a wildlife sanctuary for creatures like the Ezo deer and Ezo grouse. The forest features a stunning seasonal contrast, with fresh greenery in spring, deep greens in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage blending the greens of conifers with the reds of broad-leaved trees. Comprising species such as Sakhalin spruce, Japanese oak, and birch, it is celebrated for its scenic beauty and ecological significance.
