Introduction of reviews and word-of-mouth experiences

Recommended for outdoor beginners in the middle of winter!
Lack of exercise and stress due to remote work I took the plunge and applied. Is the equipment okay? can you walk? Do you want to disturb other people? I was full of anxiety, but I received polite advice in advance, and although I was one person late on the day, I was able to go at my own pace without rushing. The icefall of Imitaki, which you can see at the end of the walk, is a superb view! I was refreshed with fresh air and rich nature. Thanks to Mr. Muraki and Mr. Matsushita, the guides, I was able to enjoy it until the end. Thank you very much.

it was fun
First cross-country ski. This time as well, the staff was very polite and kind. Thank you very much. However, due to my poor sense of exercise, I couldn't move my body well, and I couldn't grasp the tricks, and I kept falling down, which caused me a lot of trouble. Still, it was a lot of fun for me.

The snowshoe hike from Kotoku's parking lot was very nice. Shadows of Japanese larch lined up in the snowfield. animal footprints. Mount Nantai seen from an unusual angle. All in all it was a great experience What was amazing was I saw it from the peak where I ate lunch It was the scenery of Senjogahara and Kotoku Ranch. I'm glad I fought the snow and climbed up. I am grateful to Mr. Nakata for teaching me the scenery that can only be seen in winter. Every time I come, I show and receive a new sunshine. Where's next?
