    Tour Company

    Since its establishment in 1992, Picchio (picchio means woodpecker in Italian) has been conducting Asiatic black bear conservation management and nature tours based in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. In 2019, we started tours in Shiretoko, a World Heritage Site considered to be a symbol of Japan's rich natural environment. We hope to spread the richness of Japan's natural environment not only to Japan but also to the world. We bring a breath of fresh air to Shiretoko, drawing on the guiding techniques we have cultivated in Karuizawa for over 30 years and our specialized knowledge of wildlife.
    Company Name: Picchio Shiretoko
