Bear Watching Bus


Bear Point
The brown bear is the largesr land animal in Japan, and especially larger on the island Hokkaido. Being the king of the wildlife, and we wanted to provide these magnificent beasts a naturel environment. With this idea we conceived the Sahoro Resort Bear Mountain; not a zoo or a bear reserve. The concept was for people to observe the brown bears living in a near natural habitat. The surrounding areas of Sahoro Resort are the habitat of the wild bears, so more the reason to build this facility.
