Terasawa has lived on Teuri Island since he was 22 years old, photographing seabirds while working on their conservation. Terasawa takes you on a small boat into the world of seabirds that he knows so well, on the “Seabird Adventure Cruise.” The lively expressions and energetic behavior of seabirds seen up close is dramatic in itself. This cruise will be a special seabird experience for you.

Born in Niigata. While working as a master carpenter, he became involved with a company at a log construction site. Attracted by the rich natural environment, he moved to Minamifurano. He guides forest programs, canoes, rafts, and more. He will guide you through the tours with his deep knowledge and entertaining conversation skills. He will also guide foreigners in English.

I am experience working in outdoor education and mountain tourism. As a student I was a member of the Explorer’s Club at school, giving Tobaji numerous opportunities to explore the outdoors and travel overseas. This included a trip to Nepal, where he trekked Annapurna and rafted down the river of Karnali．I was once your typical Japanese “salaryman”, but decided to change up careers and work for an outdoor education provider, and later became a certified mountain guide. I fell in love with Daisetsuzan for its untouched nature and distinct seasonal beauty, and is excited to share　my profound knowledge of the area. When I’m not guiding, I can be found canoeing or helping rice farmers and beekeepers in Higashikawa in the spring and autumn. Languages: Japanese (Native) / English (Fluent) / Swahili

I have also encountered brown bears in the field while researching brown bears. I am still cooperating with research, and have a lot of experience dealing with brown bears. I will provide you with a safe and secure time in the field.

I am from Hokkaido, Japan. I have been guiding since 2000 throughout Hokkaido,mainly in Daisetsuzan National Park. In 2001, I launched Daisetsuzan Nature School, which provides children’s camps, nature tours and national park management, aiming to foster sustainable community development under the theme of “wise use”. In 2018, we introduced Adventure Hokkaido, offering cycling and hiking tours across Hokkaido in English. With a background in environment conservation from a university in NZ and a current role on the board of the Asian Ecotourism Network, I offera comprehensive guiding perspective.

I visited Hokkaido as a traveler and was so impressed by the wonderful nature and people of Hokkaido that I moved to Hokkaido and became a nature guide. After graduating from a graduate school, I became a nature guide in Noboribetsu in 2002, and have been working to connect people with nature, people with each other, environmental conservation, and human resource development from the local community.

Born in Sapporo in 1988. After being as a backpacker, rickshaw man, and high school teacher (English), I moved to Okushiri Island in 2018. In 2021, I became a “Hokkaido governor-certified outdoor guide,” guiding more than 500 people a year to the sea and forests. As the island’s only nature guide, my mission and purpose in life is to connect people with nature and people in Okushiri Island, and to show them the charms of the island.
