Enjoy a river trek experience in the clear river of the Shirakami Mountains, Japan’s first UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site

Experience the stunning, clear river flowing from the untouched beech forests of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage Site. The forest is home to a diverse range of creatures, allowing you the chance to spot birds and fish. With a guide leading the trek, even beginners can participate with peace of mind. It is very rare to encounter other people in the forest, so trekkers will enjoy the special feeling of having a World Natural Heritage Site to themselves. Eating a bento lunch box with rice balls amidst nature is truly a special experience.
