Many people are surprised by the physical strain of typical snowshoe tours. We wondered if there was a more casual and accessible way to experience a snowy forest. With that in mind, we developed a plan that offers a short but "authentic snowy forest experience" (although that may sound a bit exaggerated, lol), with no climbing, a physically less strenuous experience, and a stroll-like feel. The tour is quite leisurely, taking place in under 1.5 hours (though fast adults can complete it in about an hour). While the tour is stroll-like in duration and distance, you'll still experience a realistic and authentic forest. While taking photos and other activities, we hope you enjoy a short trek through a genuine snowy forest. *Please note* You'll be walking in snow, so please wear shoes suitable for walking in snow. (You can't walk in snow in regular shoes) I think the easiest way to move around is with ski wear and rubber boots (see photos of participants). Rubber boots that keep your toes warm (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 doesn't get in. If the snow is very 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 have them.)

Lessons and clinics where I am told various things are a bit troublesome. But I want to check my own skating. I just want to see how I skate! I want to know! If so, this plan is recommended. You can skate the way you want, and we will take pictures (videos and still images) from in front of you or while following you. If possible, we will ask you to airdrop the data taken with an iPhone or GoPro each time for confirmation. After the plan ends, it is possible to hand it over all at once, but since the amount of data will be quite large, it is usually uploaded to the free cloud by midnight (or the next day depending on the amount of data) after the plan ends. Please download it where you have a high-speed connection. Please note that this does not mean that you will be able to take high quality photos that will "stand out". This photo shoot is just to check your form, so if you are conscious and want to improve your level, be sure to take a photo every time and improve your level more quickly! ♪
