Shirakami Sanchi is a general term used to refer to the massive 130,000ha (501 square miles) mountainous land extended over Aomori and Akita prefecture. In December 1993, it became the first Japanese World Heritage Site along Yakushima in Kagoshima prefecture.

Shirakami-sanchi has become a popular spot, visited by trekking enthusiasts from all over the world. Here you can enjoy the various expressions of nature in all four seasons.

Although access to the Shirakami Sanchi World Heritage zone is limited to protect its delicate ecosystems, you can visit with a permit obtained by mail or in person.
