Experience the charm of the Shirakami-sanchi World Natural Heritage site with the 'Anmon Shirakami-go' service. This route offers breathtaking views of the pristine Anmon River, ancient beech forests, and stunning waterfalls. Walking along the nature observation paths, you can experience the changing seasons through vibrant flora, historic trees, and the soothing sound of flowing water.
The greatest appeal of this route is the opportunity to feel the untouched nature of a World Natural Heritage area up close. Along the Anmon River, you will encounter diverse plant life that changes with the seasons—from spring flowers like trilliums and violets to summer rhododendrons and the beautiful autumn colors of the Katsura trees. The waterfalls, such as the Anmon No. 3 Waterfall, are also must-see spots.
For a deeper experience, engage your senses. Notice the sweet scent of the Katsura tree leaves in autumn. By focusing on the fragrances and sounds of the forest, your trekking through the quiet beech forest becomes a profound connection with the vitality of nature.
This service operates from September 19, 2026, to October 31, 2026. It is a perfect time to enjoy the deepening autumn colors.
