Experience Hokkaido’s Winter History: Snowshoeing Through Coal Mine Ruins
Hello! I’m a professional outdoor and adventure travel guide based in Hokkaido. My tours focus on creating deep, local experiences that go beyond the ordinary. I combine nature, activities, and culture to provide unique and memorable adventures.
Let me introduce one of my winter programs: Snowshoeing at the Ruins of Hokkaido’s Coal Mines.
A century ago, the Sorachi region of Hokkaido thrived as a center for coal mining. The area was bustling with department stores, movie theaters, and vibrant communities. However, with the transition to new energy sources, these mines were abandoned, and the land has since returned to forest.
Today, hidden within these woods are the remnants of this once-prosperous era. On this snowshoeing tour, we’ll trek through the serene, snow-covered forest to uncover these fascinating ruins. As we walk, you’ll experience a nostalgic connection to the past and gain a deeper appreciation for the ancestors who shaped this land.
This tour offers the perfect blend of history, nature, and tranquility. If you’re looking for a unique winter adventure in Hokkaido, join us!
