Abstract
Small mammal fauna were surveyed in July and October 2014 in small forests, grasslands and riparian forests in a rice field area, Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan. One adult female Japanese white-toothed shrew Crocidura dsinezumi was captured in a riparian forest of the Chubetsu River. The ground was covered thick with Japanese pampas grass Miscanthus sinensis. This is the first record in Asahikawa and the northernmost record in Japan of this species. External measurements of the specimen were body weight, 6.3 g; length of head and body, 74.0 mm; tail length, 53.0 mm and length of hind foot, 14.0 mm.
