    [description] => 

Working in conjunction with a local conservation specialist group, this tour is designed to showcase the best of Japan’s Summer Wildlife, particularly mammals and birds. Due to its position, spring and summer in Hokkaido tend to arrive later and finish earlier than islands further south, so animals make the most of the short months when the weather is warmer and food is abundant. After arriving in Tokyo, we will transfer to the northern island of Hokkaido, where we'll begin at the Shiretoko Peninsula and take several boat trips in search of cetaceans and Brown Bear. In the east of Hokkaido we'll be looking for seals and seabirds, as well as searching out breeding birds around the coast and in the marshes. On return to Tokyo, we'll take a train to Karuizawa for the final part of the tour, where we'll go in search of Asiatic Black Bear, Japanese Serow and Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel, among others. 

  • Search for both Brown & Asiatic Black Bears
  • Boat trips for cetaceans & seabirds
  • Excellent birding opportunities
  • Evenings looking for Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel
  • Opportunity to look for Japanese Serow & other mammals
  • Stunning landscapes in Hokkaido
  • Working in collaboration with local conservation specialists
[introduction] => A 15-day tour visiting the Japanese islands of Hokkaido and Honshu, focusing primarily on mammals and birds of the area, including Brown and Asiatic Black Bears, cetaceans and seabirds, Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel, Japanese Serow and summer breeding birds.

Japan comprises four main islands – Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku – as well as thousands of smaller islands and is located in the Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland. The archipelago stretches nearly 1,400 miles from north to south, enjoys a predominantly temperate climate and lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire.


Famous for its shoguns and feudal past, Japan’s long isolation from foreign influence (between the early 17th century and mid-1800s) enabled it to establish very distinct culture, language and traditions. Today, the Japanese enjoy a high standard of living and have the highest life expectancy in the world. A large network of national parks protects its wildlife.

What does this mean?

Highlights

  • Search for both Brown & Asiatic Black Bears
  • Boat trips for cetaceans & seabirds
  • Excellent birding opportunities
  • Evenings looking for Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel
  • Opportunity to look for Japanese Serow & other mammals
  • Stunning landscapes in Hokkaido
  • Working in collaboration with local conservation specialists

Summary

Working in conjunction with a local conservation specialist group, this tour is designed to showcase the best of Japan’s Summer Wildlife, particularly mammals and birds. Due to its position, spring and summer in Hokkaido tend to arrive later and finish earlier than islands further south, so animals make the most of the short months when the weather is warmer and food is abundant. After arriving in Tokyo, we will transfer to the northern island of Hokkaido, where we'll begin at the Shiretoko Peninsula and take several boat trips in search of cetaceans and Brown Bear. In the east of Hokkaido we'll be looking for seals and seabirds, as well as searching out breeding birds around the coast and in the marshes. On return to Tokyo, we'll take a train to Karuizawa for the final part of the tour, where we'll go in search of Asiatic Black Bear, Japanese Serow and Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel, among others. 

Focus

This tour has a mixed mammal and bird focus.

What's Included?

Accommodation

In Tokyo and Karuizawa we will be using comfortable tourist hotels with western style rooms and private facilities. In Hokkaido, some nights will be in traditional style Ryokans (Japanese Inns), where the beds are futon style and, while there are private WCs, bathing is in shared onsens, heated by thermal springs.
