Sahoro Resort Bear Mountain

Face-to-face encounter with Ezo brown bears at Bear Point, just 4 meters away

You can safely observe Ezo brown bears living in the Karikachi Plateau forest from a 5-meter-high elevated walkway or dedicated bus.

Walking the 370-meter-long elevated walkway course at 5 meters height, you can look down at the natural behavior of Ezo brown bears living in the forest. You can observe various behaviors such as bears moving between trees, digging the ground, and playing by the water. Sometimes you'll hear the bears' calls breaking the forest silence or the echo of their footsteps. The "Bear Watching Bus Course" on a dedicated bus protected by iron bars allows comfortable observation of brown bear ecology even in rainy weather.

At the glass-enclosed observation facility "Bear Point" in the center of the park, you face Ezo brown bears at a distance of just 4 meters. The bears' fur, sharp claws, and powerful movements seen through the glass radiate overwhelming presence. Amid the scent of forest soil and vegetation, you can experience a special encounter with Hokkaido's representative wild animal. Parking is available for 600 vehicles.
