About this event

Let's go meet the mysterious flying creature, the giant flying squirrel (musasabi)! This is an inspiring experience where you can observe various behaviors of flying squirrels in the night forest, such as peeking out from tree hollows, climbing trees, grooming their fur, and gliding through the night sky. The continuous actions of flying squirrels unfolding right before your eyes will surely be a series of surprises. In this plan, you will closely follow the start of the nocturnal flying squirrel's day and observe them using dedicated lights. Since it is an observation event in the forest, participating in well-broken-in shoes is recommended. Depending on weather conditions and the number of participants, the schedule and program details may change, and if flying squirrels cannot be spotted, the tour may be changed to a "Night Hike." The overnight plan includes one night's stay with two meals, hot spring access, and the activity fee. Day-trip participation is also possible.
