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.

We had a brilliant couple of days with Jun. At a difficult time in not the best season for Hokkaido, Jun was able to sniff out unexpected powder stashes and we skied some great snow! Really nice guy as well!

Jun is an outstanding guide, a true expert in his field. He was attentive to our needs and desires and very ably provided us with a fantastic experience skiing in the Asahikawa area backcountry. I will book other trips with him and highly recommend him to others!

Jun did an incredible job guiding us through Daisetsuzan National Park. He was attentive, friendly and courteous. His knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and landscape was superb (that rock garden in particular left a deep impression on me). His cooking was superb. And, we felt like we experienced aspects of the Japanese outdoors and culture that are very hard to reach. Andy and I had a phenomenal time.

Jun was a very safe and knowledgeable guide for our one day skiing trip for Yotei. He knew lots about the snowpack and the local wildlife and trees. We felt safe the entire time and really appreciated the pace he went at. Would recommend!
