Take in the serene beauty of the winter forest to the fullest on snowshoes as you seek mud volcanoes known as “bokke”. Observing the bokke up close is like feeling the very breath of the earth. Along the way, you will discover exciting attractions, such as natural playground slides made of snow.

A tour through this wonderful and mystical lake born from ancient volcanic activity. You will be guided deep into the serene forests - to places many people will normally never have a chance to visit.

Head into mysterious forests managed by the Maeda Ippoen Foundation! Answers to the mystery of Akan’s forests can be found here, in “Hikari no Mori” (The Forest of Light), commonly known as “Fushigi no Mori” (Mystical Forest).

Strap on your snowshoes and embark through the forest towards a silvery snow-covered plateau, where you will find unparalleled views of Penketo and Panketo, two of Akan’s most mystery-shrouded lakes. And of course, you should expect memorable encounters with wildlife and amazing mountainscapes along the way.
