Guida
Experience the splendor of the Shirakami-UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with the "Anmon Shirakami-go" service. This route offers breathtaking views of the pristine Anmon River, ancient beech forests, and majestic waterfalls. As you walk along the nature observation trails, you will be surrounded by the changing seasons, from seasonal flora to the soothing sounds of pure mountain water, offering a truly restorative escape from daily life.
The greatest charm of this route is the opportunity to experience a World Natural Heritage area up close. Along the Anmon River, you will encounter diverse plant life that changes with the seasons—such as lilies in spring, wildflowers in early summer, and the beautiful golden hues of the Katsura tree in autumn. The sight of the Anmon No. 3 Waterfall is also a must-see.
While exploring, we recommend engaging all your senses. For instance, in autumn, the leaves of the Katsura tree emit a sweet, pleasant fragrance. By focusing on the scents, sounds, and textures of the forest, your trekking experience through the quiet, powerful beech forest will become even more profound.
This service operates from September 19, 2026, to October 31, 2026. It is a perfect time to enjoy the deepening colors of autumn and the changing seasonal scenery.
