Traditional Attire Experience in Snow Country

Experience the spirit of the samurai and the profound world of Shinto in Tobetsu, Hokkaido—a town pioneered by samurai in search of an ideal land. This program takes place at Tobetsu Shrine, dedicated to Date Kuninao, the founding leader, and offers an authentic cultural experience. Men wear formal kamishimo robes or samurai armor, while women dress in sacred miko attire, reflecting on the uniquely Japanese belief that pioneering samurai are enshrined as deities. Guests also receive special access to the main sanctuary, normally closed to the public, where the head priest explains the teachings of Shinto—the foundation of Japanese values. In the forest, safely guided by professionals, you will experience cutting a tree and enjoy traditional Hokkaido winter activities such as sledding and building snow huts, gaining insight into the resilient lives of early settlers.

Soratabi Cafe

The Tokachi area is a natural planetarium with wide plains!! The vast plains and spectacular skies of this area are the most characteristic features of Hokkaido.

Private Wildlife Photography Tour in Hokkaido Flying Squirrels

Discover Hokkaido’s adorable Ezo flying squirrels — tiny, round, and gliding silently through the forest at dawn and dusk. This private photography tour takes you into peaceful coniferous woods near Obihiro, where these nocturnal animals peek out from their nests before sunrise and after sunset. Observe and photograph them in natural light while learning about their unique ecology — their nesting behavior, favorite foods, and how they survive the long northern winter. Your guide provides gentle photography support, helping you work quietly and effectively in low light to capture authentic moments in the wild. Between sessions, enjoy the calm rhythm of the forest and seasonal wildlife such as owls, foxes, and long-tailed tits. Rather than chasing animals, this tour is about patience, presence, and quiet connection — a chance to feel the stillness of Hokkaido’s winter and photograph one of Japan’s most endearing forest creatures.
