30 things to do by 2030 in Japan’s Natural World Heritage Sites011Shirakami Communications https://www.shirakamicc.com/Shirakami Sanchi Visitor Center http://www.shirakami-visitor.jp/The mountain range in the Shirakami-Sanchi area is more than 1,000 meters high and known for its rising and falling ridgelines. Here, visitors can enjoy everything from light trekking to serious mountaineering expeditions. The forest is at its most beautiful and walkable in June, when the new shoots emerge amid the last lingering snows, and October, when the autumn foliage is at its brightest.Mount Futatsumori (1,086 m) is one of Shirakami-Sanchi’s best-known peaks. Its trailhead begins at the Akita end of the Seishu Rindo road, and its summit offers 360-degree views of the primeval beech forest of the Natural World Heritage area, without a manmade structure in sight. First-time visitors seeking to understand Shirakami more deeply are encouraged to engage a licensed guide. Hiking plan options include lunch in the mountains and snowshoeing in winter. Shirakami’s “Twelve Lakes” (Juniko) near the Japan Sea side are the most stunning vistas in the region. Despite the name, the area is actually home to 33 lakes, said to have been created by an earthquake in 1704. Aoike Pond is a particularly mystical sight, with water such a fantastic cobalt blue that it looks like a pool of blue ink. Wakitsubo Pond is one of Japan’s “Hundred Famous Waters,” and Nagaike Pond and Ketoba Pond have a similar mystical air.The trail is well-tended, making it an easy stroll through the beech forest even for beginners. Light filters down through the leaves, and sometimes a ruddy kingfisher darts by. This walk refreshes both body and soul. Survey the World Heritage forestfrom the peak ofMount Futatsumori.
