Exclusive Wildlife Photography Tour to , with Italian professional photographer Marco Ronconi!
Join renowned Italian nature photographer Marco Ronconi, a true admirer of Hokkaido’s nature and wildlife, on an unforgettable 9-day adventure to Shiretoko, starting September 4th, 2026.
Our primary focus on this tour is the magnificent brown bears of the Shiretoko Peninsula. September is the season of salmon run, attracting these impressive creatures to the river mouths in search of their vital prey. For three dedicated days, we’ll charter a small boat, allowing us to explore the coastline and maximize our chances of capturing stunning images of brown bears.
But that’s not all! This incredible itinerary also includes opportunities to photograph Blakiston’s fish owl from an observation hide, and the chance to capture the magic of the Notsuke Peninsula in the late afternoon, where Ezo shika deer, red foxes, and white-tailed eagles may appear. We’ll also explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Shiretoko Goko Lakes and Shiretoko Pass, offering diverse photographic subjects.
The latter part of our journey takes us to the National Park, home to Hokkaido’s highest peak, Mt. Asahidake. Here, we’ll dedicate time to photographing the enchanting Japanese pika, a unique subspecies found in Hokkaido. This region is also known for its early autumn foliage, providing a spectacular backdrop for your photography.
This tour is guaranteed to run and has limited remaining spots. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to photograph Hokkaido’s incredible wildlife and landscapes!
