There is also the Ainu Kotan village featuring a number of wooden crafts stores and a theatre with performances of traditional Ainu dance. Old growth forest can be accessed in only several minutes on foot from all of the major hotels. The protected natural and cultural treasures you will find here are well worth the trip.
