Plan description

Early morning snow hike tour for a limited time only. *Although it is aimed at people with strong legs, there is no problem even if you have no experience climbing snowy mountains. *There is also a river crossing. This view only lasted for 3 weeks! ! Unryu Valley, one of the most spectacular views in Japan that you should visit at least once in Nikko in winter, is located at an altitude of approximately 1,400m.In the depths of winter, the waterfall completely freezes and becomes a 120m-long icefall, at the entrance of the valley. The abundant fresh water creates an ice curtain that covers the entire wall, and countless icicles appear, creating a scenery called an ice temple. English Guide Available

The charm of the Unryu Valley course

Early morning snow hike tour for a limited time only. *Although it is suitable for those with strong legs, there is no problem even if you have no experience climbing snowy mountains.Unryu Valley is one of the most spectacular views in Japan that you should visit at least once in Nikko in winter.It is located at an altitude of about 1,400m, and the waterfall is completely covered in the middle of winter. At the entrance of the valley, the abundant fresh water creates a wall-long ice curtain, and countless icicles appear, creating a landscape known as an ice temple. Although the altitude is high, the valley faces southeast, so there is plenty of sunlight, and this view only lasts for 3 weeks! ! Why not wake up early and experience the fascinating world of ice with your guide Jumbo?

What are crampons (crampons)?

A tool for walking on snow and ice, which is a piece of equipment with metal claws that is attached to mountain climbing shoes. *To ensure safety, we use a product with 10 prongs.
