[January to March] Snow trekking to the frozen waterfall called Hyobaku in Zao, Yamagata. Every winter, the entire huge waterfall freezes, creating a frozen waterfall about 30 meters high and several tens of meters wide. Its power cannot be conveyed in a photo. This area, which has long attracted ice climbing enthusiasts, is called the Ice Garden, and is a world of ice like in a movie. Step into the frozen world of Senninzawa Ice Garden in search of unknown spectacular views. On the way there, head downhill from the end of the lift at Zao Liza World Ski Resort. The end of the second lift is a field of frost-covered trees lined with large ice monsters. You can also enjoy viewing the frost-covered trees. Put on crampons from the end of the lift and trek for about an hour to Senninzawa Ice Garden. Rental snowshoes and other lightweight gear were introduced two seasons ago. Once you arrive, it's time for lunch while watching the frozen waterfall. The guide will provide hot water, so please bring a lunch such as instant noodles to warm you up. A tent-type toilet will also be set up during lunch, so you can use the restroom. You can hydrate without worrying about the toilet. After enjoying the mysterious world of ice, you will climb back up the steep slope and change into snowshoes. You can walk on the fluffy new snow, slide on your buttocks, and on the way back, you will walk down to the ski resort without using the lift. Those who are new to snow mountain climbing can participate, but you will need the stamina to walk for more than four hours on your own feet with a backpack on. There are some steep descents and ascents. *If the route to the ice waterfall cannot be safely walked due to field conditions, we may change to a walk around the area on snowshoes. <Equipment> Snowshoes: ATLAS Helium BC 23,26 (Innovative light and portable mountain snowshoes) Poles: Montbell Fall Line Poles (Lightweight backcountry poles) Light crampons: Montbell Snow Spikes 10 (Required for steep slopes up to the icefall) Helmet: Montbell Alpine Helmet (Wear when approaching the icefall. Store in a backpack while moving) <Not included in the price> Parking fee (1,000 yen on weekends and holidays only, free on weekdays) * Recommended age: 10 years old and above * Please contact us in advance if you have a chronic illness or are worried about your physical strength. * Pets are not allowed. * Our guides can speak English, so English speakers are welcome to join.

Of course, with a limited number of groups (private plan), we have condensed the play of Hokkaido in the middle. A fishing line is hung from a hole made in the thickly frozen river surface to aim at the smelt swarming under the ice. You can enjoy the caught smelt as a tasting such as tempura and fried chicken. We use a farmer's home-made house, so we have perfect protection against the cold. On the day of the event, a free shuttle car is operated from the center of Sapporo city, making it convenient for round trips. If you are lucky, you may see red foxes, white-tailed eagles, and tundra swans. Why do not you experience a day to enjoy the special nature?

This is a snow trekking trip to see a large icefall with a drop of 50m or more. In the mountainous areas of southern Nara Prefecture, icefalls form here and there during the winter, but this one is the largest. There are places where it is difficult to walk on the snowy mountain trails, so we wear light crampons and walk slowly with the guide. The walking time is about 1 hour uphill and 40 minutes downhill, walking slowly while taking pictures.
