Hokkaido Taiga Salmon Watching Tour
Squeezing the last of their strength, the sight of the salmon powerfully running up the river is heart-warming! A salmon watch tour where you can feel the great nature on a global scale. Welcome salmon that have traveled the open sea for years.
The Tokachi River runs through the center of a vast plain. For several months from late summer to late autumn, salmon return to their native rivers after nearly three years of open sea travel. This is a guided tour where you can observe the swimming and spawning activities of these salmon at various points. Depending on the season, you can also see salmon spawning at your feet. While feeling the preciousness of the nature and creatures of the Tokachi River, you can see the autumn traditions of Tokachi, Hokkaido. At the end of the tour, cafe time is set, and you can spend a time enjoying delicious local sweets while watching the scenery. In the midst of nature-filled scenery, the sight of salmon powerfully running up the river is heart-warming. Please take a look at it with your own eyes. This activity is held with the full cooperation of the Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau and Makubetsu Town.
