Description

This is a special experience of walking along a beautiful clear stream flowing from the vast beech forest of the Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Site. It will be held in the Fujikoto River in Akita Prefecture. The river is so clean that you can see the bottom. You will not meet anyone else during the trek. You can enjoy a sense of privacy. You may encounter birds and fish. A guide will accompany you, so even if you are new to river trekking, you can feel at ease. If it gets hot, you can swim or jump in. Lunch (included in the tour price) is a bento box made with locally grown rice and wild vegetables. You will eat it by the side of the clear stream. It is a day where you can feel the untouched nature with your whole body. On rainy days, you can change to Shirakami Forest trekking. [Fun after the tour] Original soft cream at "Mori no Eki", coffee brewed with Shirakami water, souvenirs, etc. Take a bath at "Yunosawa Onsenkyo". (Additional fee) Visit to "Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Center Fujisatokan" (free). Visit the Garo Falls, Choshi Falls, and Shiraito Nidan Falls. All are located close to the meeting and departure points.
