Tatni Trail (Bokyo-no-Mori) Trekking Course

Trail Overview

Located close to the central town area, these two courses offer quiet, relaxing nature walks amidst birdsong. In spring, the chirping of blue-and-white flycatchers and other birds fill the area.
The Forest Therapy Course is a 3-km loop with beautiful views of the Shiretoko Mountain Range and Kunashiri Island. In spring, you'll see lovely flowers like Selkirk's violet (Viola selkirkii) along the relatively level trail.
The 5.2-km loop of the Forest Learning Course has steeper slopes that pass through forests of Erman's birch, letting you feel the energy of the Tatni-usu River ("Tatni-usu" means "a place with Erman's birch" in the Ainu language).
