Review / word-of-mouth experience

I enjoyed it the best
It was my first experience. We were able to enjoy nature by ourselves in the summer, such as canoeing, camping, and diving, but there are no winter sports. I was hibernating until it got warm. When I heard "snowshoe" from my husband, I was worried that it would be okay, but after making the reservation, I received detailed information, snow conditions, course information, etc. I got a guide and I was looking forward to it as the day approached. On the day, we started by checking our physical condition and practiced how to wear snowshoes at the office. Because there was little snow, I drove to the mountains and walked on powder snow. You can walk around on the snow at a high altitude of 1400m! !! It was an experience above all. Hang it up to the hammock and enjoy hot amazake and tea. It was hospitality above all. I had a lot of pictures taken and it was a great memory. It was a really fun 3 hours.

First full-scale winter mountain climbing Kurofuyama
Thank you very much for your help this time. Since this is my first time to climb Mt. Fuyu, I participated in a private tour. The weather was nice and the view was wonderful. Also, it was a very enjoyable experience to have them explain the footprints of animals and plants such as rhododendrons, quercus crispula, and oak, and to walk in the forest where no one was walking with snowshoes. Even in the woods where we could get lost by ourselves, there was a guide so we could enjoy it with peace of mind.
