Tokachi Nature Center
Experience Tokachi through hot air balloons and SUP in every season
A facility where you can experience outdoor sports year-round in the magnificent nature of Tokachi. From spring to autumn, tethered hot air balloon flights offer panoramic views of the Tokachi Plain.
The experience of slowly ascending to the sound of the burner and gazing at the lush green Tokachi Plain below and the ridgeline of the Hidaka Mountains in the distance is breathtaking. Feel the wind on your cheeks and sense the vastness of the land. On the Tokachi River, SUP (stand-up paddleboard) tours are available, allowing you to enjoy the sky above and surrounding nature from the water surface as you glide along the calm river.
In winter, thrilling snow rafting and snowmobile experiences are offered. The exhilaration of gliding across snowy fields and the excitement of racing through pristine white landscapes are unique charms of Tokachi's winter. With careful instruction from experienced guides, even first-timers can safely enjoy Tokachi's great outdoors. The facility delivers special experiences that connect you with Tokachi's nature, which shows different faces in each season.
