Wild Hokkaido! • Season 1 • Episode 11

About this episode

This episode's stage is Shimukappu, located near the center of Hokkaido and a 90-minute train ride away from Sapporo. Forests cover 90% of Shimukappu's landscape. Mesmerizing fog covers the lush faces of the mountains from summer to autumn. Our host will travel up the mountain to behold the awe-inspiring beauty of the scenery, and then go deeper into the forest on a mountain bike. We have also prepared rare footage of the creatures that live in the foggy forests.
