Akan's Forest
Our stage this time is Lake Akan and its surrounding nature in the east of Hokkaido. Akan's nature is comprised of its volcanoes, its lakes and its hot springs. The beautiful topography around Lake Akan is a result of volcanic activity around 12,000 years ago. Our program host gets on a ferry and observe Marimo balls, the symbol of Lake Akan, and enjoys a hike through the forest with his guide. Later, we show you rare footage of the forest with a rich combination of needleleaf and broadleaf trees, as well as mushrooms that play a vital role in forest regeneration.
