Discover Hokkaido’s adorable Ezo flying squirrels — tiny, round, and gliding silently through the forest at dawn and dusk. This private photography tour takes you into peaceful coniferous woods near Obihiro, where these nocturnal animals peek out from their nests before sunrise and after sunset. Observe and photograph them in natural light while learning about their unique ecology — their nesting behavior, favorite foods, and how they survive the long northern winter. Your guide provides gentle photography support, helping you work quietly and effectively in low light to capture authentic moments in the wild. Between sessions, enjoy the calm rhythm of the forest and seasonal wildlife such as owls, foxes, and long-tailed tits. Rather than chasing animals, this tour is about patience, presence, and quiet connection — a chance to feel the stillness of Hokkaido’s winter and photograph one of Japan’s most endearing forest creatures.
