A guide, knowledgeable about the history, flora, and fauna of Kaze no Matsubara, will accompany you. In addition to the usual walking trails, you'll also explore areas accessible only during the snowy season, so you might even spot animal footprints! The calm winds within Kaze no Matsubara, a sabo forest, allow you to experience how it protects the city of Noshiro from strong winds from the Sea of Japan. Many locals have never tried snowshoes or snowshoes, and this event is also open to visitors from within the city and prefecture. Even first-timers can participate with peace of mind, as a guide will accompany you and provide support! Schedule: 9:45 AM: Meeting, registration, guide introduction, snowshoe fitting. 10:00 AM: Departure. Walk through Kaze no Matsubara. 12:00 PM: End. *The above schedule is a guideline.
