On our second day in Shirakami, we enjoyed a traditional Japanese breakfast before our scheduled trekking trip. We then went trekking at the Shirakami Mountain Ranges. It is situated in the mountains of Northern Honshu.
Two adorable Japanese guides took us around the huge park. This trackless site includes the last virgin remains of the cool-temperate forest that once covered the hills and mountain slopes of Northern Japan.
Our guides said that 87 species of birds can be found in this forest. More than a decade ago, this was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
