Todowara
A Mysterious Landscape Sculpted by Nature
Located about a 30-minute walk from behind the Notsuke Peninsula Nature Center, Todowara is a hauntingly beautiful area where Abies sachalinensis (Todomatsu) have withered and died due to seawater erosion and harsh ocean winds.
Walking along the well-maintained wooden paths, you’ll witness the stark silhouettes of dead trees and fallen trunks stretching across the barren landscape—a striking reminder of the raw, unforgiving power of nature in Hokkaido’s far north.
Nearby, at the center of the Notsuke Peninsula, you'll find Narawara, another eerily fascinating area where Quercus crispula (Mizunara) stand lifeless but more intact than those in Todowara, preserving a stronger sense of their original form.
For a deeper experience, guided tours can be arranged at the Nature Center, where expert staff share insights into the area’s ecology and history. During limited seasons, a unique sightseeing tour aboard a tractor bus offers an unforgettable way to explore the peninsula.
