World Natural Heritage Hokkaido "Shiretoko" and Okinawa "Yanbaru"

In this tour, you will enjoy the unique nature experiences of both regions while experiencing the importance of nature. It is a memorable trip that touches on the local culture and traditions nurtured by Shiretoko and Okinawa Yanbaru, two distant regions located in the north and south of Japan, and feels how nature and people's lives are in harmony. At Shiretoko, a World Natural Heritage Site in Hokkaido, you can feel the breath of wild animals such as brown bears and whales and killer whale in the wilderness, and feel the distance between nature and wildlife. You can learn about the lives of people who have coexisted with nature while touching the local fisheries and culture, and feel a deep connection with nature. Enjoy a 5-day deep nature experience trip at Yanbaru, a World Natural Heritage Site in Okinawa. It is a trip to sit in the forest of Yanbaru and reconfirm the bonds with nature. In the daytime, observe precious flora and fauna with a nature guide, and learn that the secret of longevity in Okinawa, the only "blue zone" in Asia, lies in this rich ecology. In the sea, ride a traditional wooden boat "Sabani" and enjoy beautiful scenery while feeling the wind and waves. At night, under the starry sky, listen to the whispering of the forest of Yanbaru.
Knowing the unique culture and lifestyle of Okinawa, which was nurtured by the nature and life of the island, will give you new awareness. Meals are prepared based on the idea of "Kusuimun" (the same source of medical food) using Shimano vegetables and medicinal herbs. You can also enjoy the food culture of Okinawa. Accommodation is a rental "Nanmeimori Room" in the village, where you can experience a stay like "living" like a local citizen.
