Please note that there are no dedicated shoes for snowshoes, and we can accommodate a wide range of shoes with a hard instep (snow boots, etc.) that are cold-resistant and waterproof. We also rent snow boots, but please note that we may not be able to accommodate your request due to size and number restrictions. If you would like to rent boots, please let us know in the answer to the questions when making your reservation. [Regarding the event period] If it is difficult to hold the event due to snow conditions, we may contact you after your reservation to cancel.

A nature guide will guide you.

Safe for beginners

We will also explain how to use snowshoes and what to be careful about in the snow field. It is also ideal for those who want to start snowshoeing.
