初めてのスノーシュー。 とっても期待して参加しました。 スノーシューの履き方を教わり、いざ出発! 行き先は…フレペの滝展望台。 夏に夫婦二人でいったとこ! 途中、スノーシューをはかずに防滑ブーツやスニーカーで歩く人達に遭遇したら『譲ってあげてね』と言われ、どうせならスノーシューならではのコースで歩きたかったな…と思いましたが、これが『お手軽』なんでしょうかね。 フレペの滝展望台からの帰り道は、車道に出て歩道をスノーシューで歩いて、物足りなく感じました。 でもシカに遭遇したり、森のでき方やヒグマの痕跡の話を聞いたりできたのは、よかったです。

We had an amazing experience with our guide Hide-san. He was very accommodating and explained many interesting details to us about what we were walking past in nature. We were fortunate enough to have sunny weather, so we had a clear view all across Lake Mashu from the top of the trail. It was also nice that we saw foxes on the drive there and back.

Impressed! Kushiro Marsh in winter! After all, let's enjoy the Kushiro Marsh in winter in Hokkaido to your heart's content! Great satisfaction course Free transfer included ・ Winter wetland river descent ・ Snowshoe tour ・ Dutch oven lunch ・ Smelt fishing, please choose 3 tours
Even it is early winter, the scene is still stunning. No worry about not good at canoeing. Teddy San would take care of everything. The only thing you have to do is to enjoy all the scenes in front of you. As to fishing part, that is also good experience you must have in your lifetime.

In winter, Shiretoko's famous waterfall, Furepe Falls, turns into blue icicles, and the spray of the falls, blown by the north wind, creates a mysterious shape. Behind Furepe Falls, the silvery Shiretoko mountain range stands, and during the drift ice season from late January to early March, a majestic drift ice field spreads out below. To reach Furepe Falls, you will put on snowshoes (Western snow shoes) and walk freely through the forest, searching for forest creatures and their traces. Places that are difficult to access from spring to autumn become walkable thanks to snow and snowshoes, so this tour is characterized by many new discoveries. Enjoy the spectacular scenery that is typical of Shiretoko and the snowshoeing experience together. *Due to the lack of sufficient snowfall from early to late December and late March, there is a high possibility that you will be guided in boots instead of snowshoes. In that case, we will guide you to the "Furepe Falls Nature Walk" tour in the same area during the snow-free season (adults: 3,100 yen, children: 2,000 yen). Thank you for your understanding.
6人のファミリーで参加させていただきました。小学生から70才の母もあり、やかましい家族で引率大変だったと思います。優しく楽しくしていただいてありがとうございました。 徒歩2、3分のホテルへバスでお迎えに来て頂いて、事務所で着替えをしてからの出発になります。一式雪グッズを無料レンタルできるのはここだけかも 天然のシカもみれました。 参加者の脚力に合わせて、サニーゴさんが休憩をはさみクイズを出してくれて常に夢中になりました。 スノーシューは青森奥入瀬と2回目でしたが、雪質も景色も違いまた全然違うものでした。 次は違う季節で、いろんなツアーに参加させていただきたいです。 ありがとうございました。
