Quiet Comfortable Trail for Beginners
I am not an avid mountain biker and so I was apprehensive about the level of difficulty, especially the downhill part as I dont like too much speed on descents. Safe to say, this was a good trail for a quiet and comfortable ride in the forest. I liked it very much!!!

Nature trippin in Nopporro Forrest trails
Aside from the awesome trails being manicured and clean, our trail guide was so nice and accomodating.

Jun-san was very...
Jun-san was very knowledgeable about the forest trail.
He was also very polite and would stop for breaks once in a while.
During our trip, we were able to see two owls and a snake! He said we were lucky to have seen owls during our trip.
He drove us from our hotel to the forest and then back to the hotel.
I highly recommend this experience!

lovely way to spend the morning
very peaceful bike ride with lots of birdsongs to listen to along the way! very easy trail for people who aren’t too confident on bikes and not many hills either.

Fun ride through the park
Very peaceful ride through a nature park. Good trails that were not too challenging but still felt like a work out. We really enjoyed it. Definitely a different experience than the usual city tour. Recommend if you are looking for a fun activity not too far from the city and not too challenging

Adventurous fun a family activity
This was a wonderful experience in a truly breathtaking Nopporo Forest Park. We did this activity as a family of four ans our children (11 and 13) had a fun time. It is around a one hour cycle and at times it’s steep and challenging-so you need to be experienced and adventurous to fully enjoy the activity. The tour guide picked us up on time, had the bikes on the car and ready to go in no time so it was all around a worthwhile half-day trip. Arigato gosaimasu Jun.

Zen Forest Ride
Wonderful easy ride in nature. A great Japanese experience- a zen relaxing and quiet ride in the forest with a kind guide. Jun did everything and even provided cool hats to wear under the helmet. Great for families with kids. My three teenagers loved it.

Great ride
The tour was with one other person. It was about 1/2 hour drive to the park. We did about a 12K trail ride. Nice amount of hills, nothing too hard. It was a great time.

Gorgeous views, leisure ride
I really enjoyed this bike ride through Nopporo Forest. Jun was a great guide. I am a beginner and was able to complete the tour with moderate effort. The forest was beautiful. Take note that there is about 15 min of climbing but it is doable.

Beautiful trail ride through the breathtaking Nopporo Forest!
We loved this tour! Giro picked us up at our hotel and drove our small group carefully to Nopporo Forest, where he outfitted us with bikes, helmets and gloves. He explained the route we would take and lead us as we began a wonderful trail ride through the peaceful and beautiful forest. We were surrounded by beautiful greenery and trees and our ears were filled with the sounds of birds and cicadas. It was a fun ride which included a few uphills, but overall, it was very relaxing. We took a few breaks to admire the scenery and even caught sight up a paid of Ezo deers! Giro was a thoughtful guide who made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. He even gave all of us a souvenir retro cycling cap!
Would definitely recommend this tour as a way to enjoy the beautiful Hokkaido landscape while getting in a little workout too. We would do this again!

All in all. -> Nice!
I went there in mid October and was expecting to enjoy the changing leafs of the forrest (momiji). Because of the hot weather this year, it was about two weeks too early, so we hardly saw any of autumns beautiful colours. Anyway, even in green, the trip was a nice expirience and I had a good chat with the guide Jun. The provided equipment (bike, gloves und helmet) were in top condition! A big complement to Jun! I have done a lot of paid outdoor activities, where sometimes the material was in bad shape.
Thank you Jun! Mata kondo :-)
