The area of this plan is Mt. Asahidake, the highest mountain in Hokkaido. Selected as one of the "100 Famous Mountains of Japan", the colors of nature change drastically in a short period of time.

However, the time when Mt. Asahidake can be seen beautifully is not limited to that period. The magnificence of Mt.

Both of the plans introduced above were in the Hokkaido area. However, some people may find it difficult to go out even during the Golden Week holidays. Therefore, let's also include information on the Kanto area.
In fact, winter in the Tohoku region is a tougher season than you might imagine. In contrast to summer, the cold weather is so strong that the amount of snowfall becomes a hot topic every year. But in that kind of area
Snowshoes
It's perfect for hike.
The trekking course of this plan will be "Goshikinuma Expedition Road" in Fukushima Prefecture. During the snowy season, it becomes a snowy field all over, and it snows so much that the promenade disappears. However, as mentioned above, winter in the Tohoku region is more severe than expected, and it would be dangerous to go by yourself. In such a case, we recommend this tour with a guide. You can take a leisurely tour of nature, so even those who are not exercising or the elderly can participate. The snow-coated swamps give off a mysterious glow and you will be impressed by the vibrant scenery.
Finally
What did you think. Until I wrote this article Snowshoes I didn't even know the word, but while I was researching it, I wanted to climb a snowy mountain. Climbing is a winter outdoor leisure that tends to be away, but it seems that you can enjoy it safely if you have a guide. However, you should still be alert. It is no exaggeration to say that every year, accidents occur in the snowy mountains in winter. Please follow the guide's instructions and never do anything dangerous. If you don't over-reliance on yourself and don't underestimate the strength of nature, you will surely be able to make the best memories. Come on, you too Snowshoes Let's go on a journey to a world we haven't seen yet!
