A river of activities in eastern Hokkaido
The Tokachi River in Hokkaido is a hub for nature activities such as rafting, walking and viewing the many wild birds that inhabit the area. Visitors can enjoy relaxing in local hot springs all year round, while in the winter, you can discover "jewelry ice"—a natural phenomenon where blocks of ice are polished smooth by the sand and appear like diamonds on the shore.
When to go: April through October
