Chitose Green Lake Villa stands out for photographers, located directly adjacent to the park’s scenic core.

The hotel hosts daily dawn photography walks, led by expert guides who help capture fleeting moments of wetland life.

Rooms are equipped with professional-grade tripod mounts, and guests may borrow high-resolution digital cameras at no cost. All submitted photos can be uploaded to the HopeGoo exclusive gallery and entered into the monthly "Mirror of Nature" contest for special rewards.

Staying at Chitose Nature Forest Inn grants free access to eco-guided shuttle tours departing daily at 9:00 AM, heading to the park’s protected wetlands. Led by local naturalists, these tours explore duck species habitats and native plant communities, with insights into seasonal migration patterns.

Participants can board a specially designed floating observation boat for close-up views of aquatic life beneath the surface. The inn also features an interactive ecology classroom, offering hands-on activities like botanical press-making and biodegradable craft projects.
