    Amazing wildlife experience

    HENDRIK_T, Mar 2026
    Couldn’t be happier with Yuki , one of best tour guide we had in our 2 weeks Japan vacation. We joined on 3rd of March and just missed the crane feeding season so we joined The nature experience tour that took us to rural country side , setsuri river where Cranes sleep due to warm never freeze river , wetlands . We were lucky we countered snow fairies bird s, sea eagles and others . We will come back again , hopefully we will have Yuki as our guide again . We were so blessed.

    Very happy with the tour, highly suggested for those with limited time

    Picchio Nature Tours did not cancel even if I was the only one who signed up, so kudos to Picchio! Yuki was not only the driver but tour guide and very good at spotting the birds and wildlife - we got my target birds (the Tancho and Shima Enaga), Stellars and White-tailed Eagles and other bird species plus saw lots of Sika deer and an Ezo Fox. This was a drive along the road and stop, take photos when a bird or wildlife is spotted type of tour then a longer stop at a Tancho feeding spot - very chill and productive!

    Cranes, deer, and foxes!

    The tour was exactly as we imagined. It was like a snowy safari. We saw many cranes, as well as deer, eagles, and other birds. Additionally, Makoto was a great tour guide and he drove us throughout the wetland area through amazing landscapes. My only problem is that I wish the tour was a full day instead of half day!

    Excellent tour

    Had an absolutely excellent tour with Makoto (Mark) earlier this week. We saw deer, eagles and of course the red crowned cranes, he also provided binoculars for all of us which was appreciated too and he was very knowledgeable about the cranes and the other wildlife we saw. Makoto very kindly drove to the port afterwards too so I could see the sunset - it was so nice of him and the whole tour was such a lovely experience! I hesitated because it was a long way to travel for the tour but I’m so glad I did, it really nicely completed my trip to Hokkaido - thank you!
