Beschrijving

Tijdens deze tour hebben gasten de mogelijkheid om de Japanse reuzenvliegende eekhoorn te observeren, een endemische soort van Japan en een van de grootste vliegende eekhoornsoorten ter wereld, terwijl hij zijn mantelachtige lichaam opent en bij zonsondergang het bos in glijdt. De kans om dit geweldige wezen te zien is meer dan 90% als gevolg van onze diepgaande kennis van de ecologie en vluchtroute van de eekhoorn. De dynamische vlucht van de Japanse reusachtige vliegende eekhoorn zal u zeker doen snakken van verwondering. *Begeleid in het Japans en basis Engels (Engels vermogen verschilt per Gids). ■ Belangrijke opmerkingen ・Leeftijd : Leeftijd 4 + ALLEEN.

Superb experience, recommended 100%

Seeing squirrels is almost guaranteed which is still quite rare for an activity with wild animals. However, if you think of leaving with photos of squirrels in flight taken with your phone you can forget. They go out at nightfall, so it's dark! Moreover they are very fast! Overall it was a great experience to have the chance to see these creatures! I recommend 100%

Well worth doing

A lovely experience to share with each other and with the rest of the lovely group We had never seen flying squirrels, so to see them leap from the tree was amazing. The 2 guides were lovely and explained each step clearly.

One of the best experiences in Karuizawa!

The flying squirrel watching tour is one of the most memorable experiences in Karuizawa. We not only saw the flying squirrel adorable sleeping face in the nest, but observed them flying from tree to tree. Our guide explained the nature of the flying squirrel in an easily understandable way. Picchio’s effort in wildlife preservation and education is really remarkable. We’re glad we attended the tour.

Must-do Tour for Wildlife Lovers

I highly recommend the Picchio Musasabi (Flying Squirrel) Tour, even if you only speak English. While the guide’s English was limited, they made excellent use of props, written materials, and visuals to communicate during the first portion at the nature centre. Outside, we were lucky to see three musasabi and one glided right over the group. I appreciated the thoughtful setup, including the red light and nest box camera, which allowed us to observe without disturbing the animals. A meaningful and respectful experience that reminds us why it’s so important to protect the forests for the musasabi and all wildlife.

Wildlife in Karuizawa! Educational and rewarding🌟

The tour is amazing and such a valuable chance to see wildlife in such close distance! 100% recommended if you're visiting Karuizawa. Also the guide Lily San is very professional and speaks good English, which makes the watching tour more than just amusement and it becomes a environment education activity. I had a really good time seeing the ムササビ gliding from the top of the tree :D !!!

Flying squirrels!!

Odin and Anna did a tremendous job facilitating this tour. Odin was fluent in both English and Japanese which made it easier for us, and we were able to learn a lot about the squirrels in the area. We saw not only one but two flying squirrels in action! Would be a good vibe if you are a bird watching enthusiast (or general animal lover). Would highly highly recommend!
