Private Car Oriental White Stork Tour (with English-speaking guide)
The once-extinct Oriental White Storks were last seen flying in the skies of Japan in Toyooka City. To save the Oriental White Stork from complete extinction, the city first had to capture the last remaining ones and raise them in captivity before releasing them back into the wild. Due to these efforts, now over 350 Oriental White Storks fly freely in Japan. Through this tour, learn about the ecology of these magnificent birds and Toyooka's commitment to fulfilling its promise of returning them to Japan's skies.
Eco Farming and Lunch with English-speaking Guide
Spend a day in the great outdoors with a local Japanese farmer. Venture out to one of the region's locally run farms south of Kinosaki Onsen, and under the knowledgeable guidance of a farmer and English and French-speaking guide, tour the community greenhouse, gardens, and rice fields!
The San'in Kaigan Geopark, declared a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2010, stretches across Japan's northern Kyoto, Hyogo, and Tottori Prefectures. In addition to diverse flora and fauna, the region is home to various geological sites, including ancient volcanic activity detailing the Sea of Japan's creation. With an area of 2458 square kilometers, the San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark is slightly larger than the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
