Daisetsuzan is a habitat for brown bears. Among them, many brown bears inhabit the highland hot springs and swamp tour course.
It is one of the rare environments in Mt. Daisetsu where you can see brown bears on distant slopes every day for about a month from mid July.
In order for people to enter such a place, the user understands the brown bear,
It is required to maintain a relationship with the brown bear.
In this swamp tour course, in order to avoid conflicts between brown bears and people, patrols always observe the course,
We provide guidance to keep a distance from brown bears.
I would like to make efforts so that this ecosystem where brown bears live can continue for 50 or 100 years.
Thank you for your cooperation.
