This premium private tour offers you exclusive access to the snow-covered Naitai Highland Farm, a place that is normally closed to the public in winter. You can enjoy one of the most popular scenic spots in Tokachi all to yourself, with a breathtaking view of the winter sunrise.

The Naitai Highland Farm in Kamishihoro Town is the largest public ranch in Japan, with an area of around 1,700 hectares. In summer, it is a popular scenic spot where you can go on a relaxing drive from the entrance gate to the 800-meter high summit where you can enjoy views of the vast Tokachi plain and cows grazing on pastures. The Naitai Terrace at the summit has a cafe that serves food and drinks. However, entry to the pastures by the public is prohibited, and the entrance gate is closed off entirely during winter, when the whole area gets covered in snow.

But this tour offers you exclusive access to the Naitai Highland Farm in winter. Together with a knowledgeable local guide, you will take a ride on a 4WD vehicle equipped with caterpillar tracks as it crawls its way along the arduous snow-covered slopes towards the farm’s summit point. From the car’s windows, you can see fields of snow stretching to the horizon, and you can hear just the sound of the engine as you enter a tranquil world of white.

This tour departs just before dawn so you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sunrise from the Naitai Highland Farm summit. The sight of the sun slowly rising from the horizon and bathing the sparkling fields of snow with the soft sunlight will take your breath away. If you get too cold, you can take a break inside the Naitai Terrace and warm yourself with some hot coffee. This experience is sure to be one of the most unforgettable moments in your Hokkaido winter journey.
