What To Expect

Start your mountain bike ride in the morning, approximately one hour after you’re picked up by air-conditioned minivan from Sapporo. Upon arrival at the Nopporo Forest Park, you’re fitted with a mountain bike, helmet and gloves. Once you receive safety precautions and instructions on basic mountain biking skills, follow your guide along a mostly dirt road on a loop trail through pristine flatland forest. Cycle past old-growth trees, where you may spot deer, squirrels, Japanese hares, Hokkaido salamanders, and native foxes, among other critters, that inhabit the wildlife sanctuary. Napporo Forest Park is home to 140 species of birds, including kingfisher and kumagera (black woodpecker), the world’s largest woodpecker with enough beak power to be heard throughout a forest. Glimpse mountain tracks that experienced racers use for practice, and check out the 60-foot-high (100-meter) Hokkaido Centennial Memorial Tower, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of Sapporo city from outside the observatory. Your half-day tour ends with the return drive to Sapporo with drop-off at the train station or a nearby hotel.

    Jun-san was very knowledgeable about the forest trail. He was also very polite and would stop for breaks once in a while. During our trip, we were able to see two owls and a snake! He said we were lucky to have seen owls during our trip. He drove us from our hotel to the forest and then back to the hotel. I highly recommend this experience!

  • lovely way to spend the morning

    very peaceful bike ride with lots of birdsongs to listen to along the way! very easy trail for people who aren’t too confident on bikes and not many hills either.

    Very peaceful ride through a nature park. Good trails that were not too challenging but still felt like a work out. We really enjoyed it. Definitely a different experience than the usual city tour. Recommend if you are looking for a fun activity not too far from the city and not too challenging

  • Adventurous fun a family activity

    This was a wonderful experience in a truly breathtaking Nopporo Forest Park. We did this activity as a family of four ans our children (11 and 13) had a fun time. It is around a one hour cycle and at times it’s steep and challenging-so you need to be experienced and adventurous to fully enjoy the activity. The tour guide picked us up on time, had the bikes on the car and ready to go in no time so it was all around a worthwhile half-day trip. Arigato gosaimasu Jun.

  • Beautiful trail ride through the breathtaking Nopporo Forest!

    We loved this tour! Giro picked us up at our hotel and drove our small group carefully to Nopporo Forest, where he outfitted us with bikes, helmets and gloves. He explained the route we would take and lead us as we began a wonderful trail ride through the peaceful and beautiful forest. We were surrounded by beautiful greenery and trees and our ears were filled with the sounds of birds and cicadas. It was a fun ride which included a few uphills, but overall, it was very relaxing. We took a few breaks to admire the scenery and even caught sight up a paid of Ezo deers! Giro was a thoughtful guide who made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. He even gave all of us a souvenir retro cycling cap! Would definitely recommend this tour as a way to enjoy the beautiful Hokkaido landscape while getting in a little workout too. We would do this again!

    Wonderful easy ride in nature. A great Japanese experience- a zen relaxing and quiet ride in the forest with a kind guide. Jun did everything and even provided cool hats to wear under the helmet. Great for families with kids. My three teenagers loved it.

    Aside from the awesome trails being manicured and clean, our trail guide was so nice and accomodating.

    I went there in mid October and was expecting to enjoy the changing leafs of the forrest (momiji). Because of the hot weather this year, it was about two weeks too early, so we hardly saw any of autumns beautiful colours. Anyway, even in green, the trip was a nice expirience and I had a good chat with the guide Jun. The provided equipment (bike, gloves und helmet) were in top condition! A big complement to Jun! I have done a lot of paid outdoor activities, where sometimes the material was in bad shape. Thank you Jun! Mata kondo :-)

    The tour was with one other person. It was about 1/2 hour drive to the park. We did about a 12K trail ride. Nice amount of hills, nothing too hard. It was a great time.

  • Gorgeous views, leisure ride

    I really enjoyed this bike ride through Nopporo Forest. Jun was a great guide. I am a beginner and was able to complete the tour with moderate effort. The forest was beautiful. Take note that there is about 15 min of climbing but it is doable.
