Rather than simply following pre-set routes, Egawa creates tailor-made tours designed to connect with each traveller\u2019s heart. She takes you on a journey to discover something still hidden deep inside you.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Sotoasobu\u2019s goal is to help people \u201cfall even more in love with the Earth.\u201d Egawa devotes time to carefully listening during the planning process and designing a variety of custom tours, including a children-focused adventure enjoying the sea, forests, and lakes; a tour to learn about disaster risk reduction through the volcanic activity of Mt Usu; or a snowshoe walk overlooking Lake Toya in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egawa uses her deep knowledge and creativity to design the perfect experience for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cape Altori\u2015A Landform Full of Stories
Feel the Breath of the Earth on a Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Egawa\u2019s favourite geosite is Cape Altori in Date. \u201cAbout 8,000 years ago, Mt Usu collapsed in a massive debris avalanche, forming what we now call hummocky hills,\u201d she explains. \u201cEverything we see here today has meaning. The stories of the earth are all connected.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not join Egawa, a true outdoor adventure expert, and experience a journey that transforms you from within?<\/p>\n<\/div>
