Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • Walking along the Taushubetsu River Bridge (accompanied by a hotel guide)

[※] We will split into two groups. The earlier group is scheduled to depart around 4:30. The order will be announced by the tour conductor during the tour.

■ Walking distance: Approximately 1 km / Walking time: Approximately 30 minutes

◎One guiding receiver will be provided per person.

◎The Taushubetsu River Bridge begins to sink below the lake surface in June when the water level of Lake Nukabira increases, and is completely submerged at the bottom of the lake by August, which is why it has come to be called the "phantom bridge."

◎You will be accompanied by a hotel guide who will give you detailed information about the history of the bridge and the background of its construction.

・The appearance of the bridge varies depending on several factors such as the amount of rainfall that year, and the time when it appears changes from year to year, so it may be submerged and not visible.

・Long boots are available for rental. We recommend wearing a windbreaker and long pants.

・The park is located within Daisetsuzan National Park. Please refrain from walking on any trails, leaving footprints on plants, or collecting plants. In addition, bringing in food or feeding wild animals is prohibited. Please cooperate with the instructions of guides and tour conductors.

・There is no mobile phone signal while visiting the Taushubetsu River Bridge.

・If it is not possible to get close due to natural disasters, bridge damage, forest road closures, construction, etc., the content may change and you may view from the Taushubetsu Observatory (700m away). Also, the bridge is becoming increasingly damaged due to aging. Thank you for your understanding.
