Description

Join me for an amazing traverse in Hokkaido, hiking from Mt Rausu (Rausudake) to Mt Io (Shiretoko Iozan).

During this 2 or 3-day trip, we’ll be hiking on the ridge line of the Shiretoko Peninsula.

We will start hiking from a low altitude forest and go forward to a volcanic ridge line. In addition to a wonderful trekking experience, you can enjoy a guided tour about alpine plants and wild animals.

Besides, we’ll spend the nights in a tent, enjoying the beautiful environment.

In fact, this region is a Natural World Heritage Site, famous for its wide variety of natural life.

This program is ideal for experienced hikers. I recommend to take a 3-day itinerary so you can have enough time to walk. Please inform me of your past trekking / hiking experiences when contacting me.

If you want to join me for this adventure, please contact me. I will be happy to be your guide in this amazing place!

We had an excellent time hiking up to the summit of Mt Kurodake. Jun gave us a good intro to the flora and fauna on the way up and regaled us with stories all the way up. He set a pace suitable for us and ensured our safety throughout. Jun comes highly recommended!
