Noboribetsu Bear Park
Ride a scenic ropeway into the world of bears!
Meet about 100 powerful yet charming Ezo brown bears at Noboribetsu Bear Park, located at the summit of Shihorei (commonly known as Bear Mountain), at an elevation of 560 meters. The adventure begins with a 7-minute ropeway ride from the foothill station in central Noboribetsu hot spring town, where you'll soar above the forest for a panoramic view of Hokkaido’s natural beauty.
Once at the top, be sure to take in the breathtaking view of Lake Kuttara, famous for its remarkably clear waters and near-perfect circular shape. From this scenic mountaintop, you can gaze across one of the most pristine crater lakes in Japan.
Inside the park, you’ll meet a wide variety of bears with distinct personalities. Watch their adorable gestures, observe feeding times, and learn more about their habits through interactive exhibits and observatory decks. Whether you're traveling as a family or a nature lover, the park offers an unforgettable wildlife experience.
