Plan description

Many people are surprised that general snowshoe tours are more physically taxing than they expected, so we thought, "Can we have a more casual and easy way to experience a snowy forest?" From that point of view, we developed a plan that does not involve climbing, is not physically taxing, feels like a walk, and is a short plan to "experience a real snowy forest" (I know that sounds a bit exaggerated, lol). The time is quite leisurely and can be completed within 1.5 hours (adults who walk fast can finish in about an hour). Although it is a walk-like time and distance, you will experience a real and authentic forest. You can enjoy a short time of trekking in a real forest while taking photos. *Please note* Since you will be walking in snow, please wear shoes that can walk in snow. (You can't walk in snow in normal shoes) I think the easiest way to move around is to wear ski wear and rubber boots (please see the participants' photos). Rubber boots that don't make your toes cold (you can wear them as is, but it will be more comfortable if you put in warm insoles, even simple ones sold at 100 yen stores. It is also better if the boots are long so that snow doesn't get in. If the snow is quite deep, we will rent snowshoes for free, so I think it would be best to participate in snow boots or rubber boots.) Also, if you have your own snowshoes or poles, it will be "even" more comfortable if you bring them. (Of course, it's okay if you don't)

There is no need to worry even if you are not physically strong. Would you like to have a little fun in the winter forest in a simple and easy way? !

It's just a leisurely walk down a snowy mountain path. Of course, if you wish, you can add a little bit of climbing, but this plan is basically a tour within 1.5 hours, as safely as possible, but with the concept of "enjoying an authentic snowy forest."

Dress code - Must bring items	There are no specific requirements, but it is best to wear warm clothes and gloves. Also, since you will be walking through the forest, make sure you wear shoes that can be used in snow (sneakers are extremely cold and your toes will freeze). Boots (tall boots or snowboard boots are fine) are the most comfortable to walk in, and are a good choice because you don't have to worry about getting wet or dirty, for example, when crossing a river in winter.

Matters require attention	You will be entering a snowy forest, so please wear appropriate winter clothing (including gloves) that you don't mind getting dirty, and footwear that you can walk in the snow with.
Other notifications	In the case of a warm winter, a lack of snow is expected, and there may not be as much snow as expected. Therefore, we ask for your understanding that reservations are by request. Even if there is not as much snow as expected, we can still hold a winter forest trekking tour.
