HOME > Hiking and mountain biking on Mt. Soranuma: Experience an adventure tour surrounded by the waters and forests of Hokkaido
Tour overview
This tour combines hiking and cycling along mountain trials, making it ideal for those seeking a challenge.
Starting in downtown Sapporo, the course passes the Toyohira River, Sapporo Art Park and the mountain trails of Mt. Soranuma on the way to the Bankei Sanso Hut. The route may seem tough, but the electrical bicycle certainly makes it easier! Bankei Marsh can be seen amongst the lush greenery that extends in front of the hut, and the water reflects the forest like a mirror.
Further along the course is Mamisu Marsh, which is surrounded by a beautiful lush landscape that belies its elevation of 1,100m.
On clear days, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from the summit, taking in Mt. Yotei to the northwest and Mt. Eniwa to the southeast.
This summer tour is the best way to experience the waters and greenery of Hokkaido!
