Spend an idyllic day in Hokkaido's countryside with a mountain guide just outside of Sapporo. First, trek up Mt Hakkenzan on a moderate-to-difficult hike and snap shots of its mountaintop ridge of ‘eight swords.’ Enjoy views of the Jozankei hot springs and Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Then, paddle along the Toyohira River on a pleasant canoeing journey, spotting beautiful birds along the way. A delicious picnic lunch and hotel transport are included in this small-group guided tour limited to eight people.
