Oku-Nikko Snowshoe Hike Tour. Ioritaki is a waterfall that quietly cascades down in a quiet forest in Nikko National Park. This 20m waterfall is located at an altitude of 1,686m, and due to the severe cold, it slowly freezes over time, turning it into a stunning ice-blue icefall.
Ioritaki is a waterfall that quietly cascades down in a quiet forest in Nikko National Park. This 20m waterfall is located at an altitude of 1,686m, and due to the severe cold, it slowly freezes over time, turning it into a stunning ice-blue icefall. The road to the waterfall has few ups and downs, and from the starting point Akanuma parking lot, you can walk across the snow all the way to Senjogahara and Odashirohara in the hinterland! After taking a break at an observation point overlooking a white birch tree, said to be the Lady of Odashirogahara, and crossing Yumihari Pass, we will head for Iori Falls through snowshoe trekking through a pure white forest belt. After arriving at Iori Falls, we took photos with the waterfall in the background, enjoyed the view of the icefall, had lunch, and then headed back to the back roads for the second half, as there are many different routes you can take if you put on snowshoes. GO! ! Let's enjoy the snowy mountains while incorporating activities such as silisade (sledding with your butt).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?
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.
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.
