Woodlands of Furano

Our stage this time is Furano, located in central Hokkaido. Furano is not only known as a world-famous skiing destination, but also for its expansive rich forest. In this episode, our program host will explore the winter forest in snowshoes. There he discovers fox and Sika deer footprints, and enjoys teatime in the fluffy snow. Later, we show you amazing footage of frost cracks in tree trunks and the Black Woodpecker, Japan’s largest woodpecker.
