Tokachi Nature Center
Learn How to Master Tokachi’s Vast Nature from the Pros!
Set amidst the vast landscapes of Tokachi, the Tokachi Nature Center offers outdoor sports and nature activities all year round. From spring to autumn, enjoy a tethered hot air balloon flight with a sweeping view of the Tokachi Plain, or join a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) tour on the Tokachi River for a refreshing adventure on the water.
In winter, feel the excitement of snow rafting—an inflatable boat pulled across the snow by a snowmobile—or take the Snowmobile Basic Course for an unforgettable ride through pristine winter scenery. With experienced instructors guiding each activity, even first-time participants can join with confidence.
Please note that schedules and operating times vary by activity, and some programs require advance reservations. We recommend contacting the center beforehand for details.
