I have over 20 years of experience conducting nature tours as a forest guide instructor with particular expertise and familiarity with trees and forestry.
It would be my pleasure to share with you Hokkaido’s great nature and interesting culture.

Hello. My name is Aya. I have been involved in outdoor activities for children in Japan’s northernmost island Hokkaido, for nearly 20 years. I love forest bathing.
My hobbies are Japanese drum, hot springs, and izakayas (Japanese-style pubs). Hokkaido has the best foods and drinks!
As a guide, I enjoy talking with people from various backgrounds, and feel that these encounters broaden my perspectives and enrich my life. I find happiness in gaining new knowledge every day.
I am a guide with a passion for sharing Hokkaido’s charms with my guests.
