Backcountry tour

Multiday Backcountry tours

We have explored a hundred of places before we finally find this gem!

A beautiful river and its smaller streams, nestled deep in the mountains, accessible after a long drive on gravel roads and some acrobatic climbing in a beautiful setting in Hokkaido, Japan.
