Auto Resort Tomakomai Alten

A freshwater lake about 9km around, located inside the Yufutsu [Yufutsu] wilderness. The moors and forests spread along the lakefront are a treasure trove of wild birds, and were designated as the first sanctuary in Japan in 1981. Of the approximately 630 species of wild birds confirmed in Japan, approximately 270 species have been recorded. At the nature center in the sanctuary (fee: free, time: 9:30 to 16:30, open only on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), we also rent binoculars (500 yen outside use). There is also the Lake Utonai Wildlife and Animal Protection Center (joint management of the Ministry of the Environment and the city of Tomakomai, telephone: 0144-58-2231), which is similarly equipped with exhibition facilities.

You can enjoy Canadian canoeing on the Bibigawa River, which runs right next to New Chitose Airport. Your guide provides lectures and support, so you can experience it for beginners and children. There is also a free transfer to New Chitose Airport and JR Minami Chitose Station, so feel free to contact us.
