Plan description

We will trek through the snowy mountains to see the impressive frozen waterfalls and the beautiful ice art that forms in caves, the ice stalagmites. This area of the Omine mountain range is a mountainous area with low temperatures, and in the coldest seasons, large waterfalls over 30 meters can freeze over. Depending on the conditions of the day, we will visit two or three frozen waterfalls and ice stalagmites. An experienced guide will accompany you and you will walk at a leisurely pace. No special mountaineering skills or experience are required, but you will need to be physically fit to walk about two hours up and one and a half hours down. This tour is also for people who have the right equipment for trekking and mountain climbing enthusiasts.

There is hot tea & sweets time♪

The guide will bring a tea set, so there is a warm tea time in the snowy mountains. There is also hot water for lunch, so you can bring your own cup noodles or cup soup.

Full rental equipment!

We offer free helmet rentals. We also have snowboards, crampons, gloves, shoes, backpacks, clothing and other rental items available for an additional fee.

I have a valid license

Because the route to the site requires passing through private property, the general public without a permit cannot pass through. We hold official permits, so you can join us with peace of mind.
