Description

I invite you to a beautiful trekking in the highest mountain of the Shiretoko peninsula, in eastern Hokkaido.

Mount Rausu (1660 m) is the highest point on the peninsula of Shiretoko. Lying inside a wonderful and unspoiled National Park, this place is ideal for seeing how the habitat changes from a forest to a Dwarf Siberian pine (Pinus pumila) area and then a flower blossom field.

There’s not much altitude difference here, but we will see a large diversity of ecosystems. Besides, it is possible to see some islands that both Japan and Russia claim as their own territories.

For those who love trekking and wild nature, this tour will be a great opportunity to enjoy the Shiretoko Area in the summer time. So please contact me if you want to join me for this 1-day traverse!

What people are saying about Jun

Javier

Jun was amazing! He has a very deep understanding of where the good now is. After a few days of high temperatures, it was difficult to experience the famous "Japow", but he did! The 3 days we spent with him, he managed to find the good snow every time! He also knows the mountains very well, takes the good safety precautions, and is just a very pleasant person to have as a guide! Thanks a lot Jun!

Great 2 days with Jun Isiguro : first day off-pist and second day backcountry. As a family of 4 with different levels in fresh and deep snow and tree runs on telemark, we feel very at ease with Jun-San. Thanks to him, we now have great memories of our holidays in Hokkaido !
