An authentic dog sledding tour through the vast snowy plains of Tokachi
We have an original two-seater dog sled, and everyone can enjoy driving the dog sled from start to finish.
The course runs for a full hour on a flat course built on the snowy plains of the Tokachi Plain.
Our sled dogs are a cross between huskies and various other dog breeds such as pointers, and are known as "Alaskan huskies", and are suited to the Hokkaido winter climate.

Feeling refreshed
We visited on February 9th. The temperature was said to be around minus 12 degrees. We were picked up at Shintoku Station and arrived at the ranch in about 30 minutes. We were in high spirits as the dogs greeted us! We borrowed a jacket, overpants, and gloves, received a brief lecture, and then it was time to try it out! We were a little nervous at first at the breakneck speed, but we quickly got used to it and felt great! We raced through the white plains with a snowmobile leading the way! The dog sledding experience lasted about an hour, and it was a lot of fun, and my wife had a blast rolling around with the dogs. This is a must-see for dog lovers!! Thank you to all the staff.
