Snowshoe hiking tour for beginners. *This is the recommended plan that allows you to enjoy the icefall in the easiest way.

English Guide Available

The charm of the Kurotaki course

Snowshoe hiking tour for beginners. Kurotaki is a waterfall with a height of 20 meters located at an altitude of approximately 1,123 meters, and when it freezes in the severe cold, it becomes a spectacular icefall. The path to the waterfall descends, and while enjoying the pure white forest belt while playing on a fallen tree bridge and doing silisade (a sledding game where you slide on your butt), you aim for Kurotaki. After arriving at Kurotaki, we took photos with the waterfall in the background, had lunch, and then finally headed back.The return trip involves climbing, but if you wear snowshoes, you can walk along a variety of routes, so you can walk leisurely or sometimes even climb straight up. We will customize the tour to suit the customer at any given time so that you will not get bored until the end. Would you like to experience the fascinating world of ice with your guide Jumbo?

What is snowshoeing?

Tools for walking on snow. It is also called Western snowshoe. It has high buoyancy and allows you to walk smoothly even on slopes. You can comfortably enjoy walking on the snow, which would be difficult to walk on if you were wearing only climbing shoes because you would be buried in the snow. No special skills are required, so anyone can enjoy it.

World standard! !! Commitment of representative Jumbo who has experience flying around the world

We provide world-class quality tours that are comparable to the equipment, tour content, and overseas adventure activities. With this as our motto, we will customize the tour from relaxing to sometimes intense, with the highest priority being safety and polite and personalized fun.
