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 cannot walk in the snow in normal shoes) I think that wearing rain boots with your ski wear will be the easiest way to move around (please refer to the photos of the participants). Rain boots that do not make your toes cold (you can wear them as they are, 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 does not get in. If the snow is very deep, we will rent snowshoes for free, so I think it is best to participate in snow boots or rain boots.)
