Come experience adventure in the very heart of Hokkaido.
The region around Daisetsuzan National Park is the perfect base for vast volcanic highlands and mountains.
Hike and bike geologically unique terrain, and learn about the spiritual heart of Hokkaido through the eyes of the dynamic geological history with local culture.
This area is called “Kamui Mintara” (the Garden of the gods:), where the origins of Hokkaido’s nature and culture converge.
Daisetsuzan National Park, with its peaks reaching 2,000 meters, is one of Japan’s largest mountain parks. Its dynamic terrain, shaped by volcanic activity, and the pristine water it yields nurture the fertile lands of Furano and Biei.
Here, vast volcanic plateaus, Ice Age glacial cirques, and alpine flora shaped by a cool northern climate come together in an untouched wilderness, creating a rare high-mountain landscape found in very few places on Earth.
The land we stand upon—the Daisetsuzan and Tokachi-dake mountains—was shaped over a truly magnificent span of time, approximately 200 million years.
In the ancient Earth where dinosaurs roamed, Hokkaido did not yet exist. The mountains we gaze upon today are the very breath of our planet, where tectonic plates continue to shift.
This is an experience to feel the breath of the earth born from volcanoes and learn about “coexistence with the earth” that resides in people’s lives.
Walk along the ridges of Mt. Daisetsu, descend clear streams, run through hills, and converse with local people. All of these weave together a single story called “Heart of Hokkaido.”
Geo Adventure proposes journeys that allow you to feel the connection between the nature of the Daisetsu-zan area and its people through four themes: “Hiking,” “Cycling,” “Water,” and “Culture.”
Hiking offers an immersive nature experience set amidst the primeval forests and volcanic landscapes of Daisetsuzan and Tokachidake.
