Description

I invite you to a wonderful adventure in Hokkaido: a 2-day hiking traverse in the Daisetsuzan area!

Daisetsuzan is a mountainous area in the centre of the island of Hokkaido. In this trip, we’ll be hiking and admiring an scenic overlook of mounts Hakuundake and Asahidake.

Besides, if weather conditions are good, you can also see a stunning sunset and sunrise.

We will stay overnight at a lodge in Kurodake. You can rent sleeping bags there if you need to.

I also can provide an optional tour, like hiking to the summit of Asahidake which is an active volcano or to Susoai-daira Plateau, which is a large habitat of snow field alpine plants.

Furthermmore, I can also take you to an optional visit to Nakadake Onsen (hot spring).

If this trip sounds interesting to you, please contact me! You should consider that if you go hiking in July, it might include climbing on snowy gorge.

Jun was very considerate and very safety conscious. He was keen to help with all our questions regarding the hike including the animal and plant life in the region. He was very generous with his time.
