New long-distance nature trail aims to entice hikers to Japan

Shiretoko Mountain.

A new long-distance hiking trail in Japan will take trekkers through some of the nation's most beautiful, unspoiled nature.

Hoping to attract hikers, bird watchers and other outdoor enthusiasts, the new route takes trekkers through 255 miles / 410km of marshland, volcanic landforms, farm land and coastline. Spanning the Kushiro-Shitsugen, Akan-Manshu and Shiretoko national parks, the arduous trek passes through the Japan's largest wetland and around its biggest volcanic caldera lake.
