The Bokke Nature Trail, located in the Akan hot spring resort area, is a vibrant natural area where you can experience the charm of volcanoes, forests, and lakes. This tour will allow you to fully feel the breath of the primeval forest. Take a casual walk through the forest to the spot of a mud volcano (Bokke), which is proof that the land of Akan is alive. Your guide will show you the nature of the season.

This premium forest walk is only allowed in company of a certified guide. Come to appreciate the forest conservation efforts of the Maeda Ippoen Foundation as you enjoy the wonders of the forest and its plants and animals. Highlights include the roots of Lake Akan Onsen and massive Japanese Judas trees.
