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%
Loved it!

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.
my experience was amazing. We saw 10 years and two foxes.

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.

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 !!!

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!
