National Hidaka Youth Nature House
Raft, hike, craft, and discover beneath the stars
Nestled at the foot of the Hidaka Mountains, the National Hidaka Youth Nature House offers year-round outdoor adventures and hands-on learning in the heart of Hokkaido.
Surrounded by the Saru River and the 751-meter peak of Mt. Kitahidaka, the facility is an ideal base for exploring nature. In summer, enjoy body rafting on the cool river or hike through forests to the hidden Namida-no-taki and Sango-no-taki waterfalls, accompanied by birdsong and the fresh scent of the trees.
Winter transforms the area into a snowy playground, where visitors can experience snowshoe hiking and exhilarating snow rafting across sparkling white fields.
Hands-on programs include outdoor cooking over charcoal fires, nighttime stargazing under clear mountain skies, and indoor workshops featuring ammonite fossil replicas and traditional wood-burned crafts.
With seminar rooms, a cafeteria, and comfortable lodging, the National Hidaka Youth Nature House welcomes school groups, families, community organizations, and corporate teams.
Whether you're looking for adventure, learning, or a relaxing escape into nature, it's an unforgettable way to experience Hokkaido's great outdoors.
