This tour is a perfect fit for travelers who would like to explore and experience the natural beauty of East Hokkaido in just one way without worrying about driving on icy and snowy road by yourself.
Red-crowned cranes, designated and protected as a Special Natural Monument, which trade mark is the red color on the head and whooper swans dancing and resting can be seen at beautiful lakes.
Mount Io is in Akan National Park and it is an active Volcano. On Mount Io, you can walk around the steaming area that is known for yellow erupting liquid sulphur.
