Wild birds are also active, and it will be a refreshing and very comfortable cruising,

Thank you for your understanding in advance when making a reservation.

In the winter, many migratory birds such as whooper swans from Siberia come to the Obihiro River, which is rich in nature and is hard to believe it is in the middle of the city. Early in the morning, you can observe various birds elegantly gathering together with the majestic scenery in the downstream part where the flow is gentle. In addition, when the temperature is low, you can see a phenomenon called "hoarfrost," in which water vapor from the river that adheres to tree branches freezes. It is a beauty that can be said to be a work of art created by the dignified and harsh nature. Cruise on a highly safe boat called an "E-boat" while gazing at the fantastic sight of glittering hoarfrost. Here in Tokachi, please fully enjoy the nature of winter in Hokkaido.
