[Until March 20th] Once the autumn leaves have finished, the 2025 winter season is finally upon us! This is a snow trekking trip to the frozen waterfall known as Hyobaku in Zao, Yamagata. Every winter, the entire huge waterfall freezes over, 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 filled with a world of ice that is like something out of a movie. In search of unknown, spectacular views, step into the world of ice that spreads across Senninzawa Ice Garden. On the way there, head to the end of the lift at Zao Liza World Ski Resort, mainly going downhill to reach the frozen waterfall. 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 icefall. The guide will provide you with hot water, so please bring a lunch to warm you up, such as instant noodles. We will also set up a tent-type toilet 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 climbs. *If the route to the icefall 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 (Mountain snowshoes with innovative lightness and portability) Poles: Montbell Fall Line Poles (Lightweight poles for backcountry) 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) * Our guides can speak English, so English speakers are welcome to join. * Recommended age: 10 years old and above * We also accept participants of 6 or more people. Please contact us. * Please contact us in advance if you have a chronic illness or are concerned about your physical strength. * Pets are not allowed.
This snowshoeing tour was one of the best things I did in Japan, even as a foreigner. All the guides I was with spoke very good English and were super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They responded quickly to my queries about transport to Zao Liza World (which can be accessed by bus from Yamagata if well timed), and details about the experience. The equipment is high quality and very fun to learn to use. The scenery and waterfall is very impressive. Overall, value for money and fun is fantastic and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone travelling in Japan.

イエローフォールのプランから、前日にブナの原生林を行くスノーシュートレッキングに変更させてもらいました。ナチュラルビズさん、ガイドさんがとても良かった。レンタル品も含んだお値段でとても安いです。わざわざウェアなどを買い揃える必要もなく参加できて手軽です。またツアーデスクも裏磐梯レイクリゾートなので、バスで来ても丸一日楽しめると思いました。ブナ林のスノーシューは、ただ歩くだけではなく裏磐梯の成り立ちや原生林の話、自然の話なども含めて、とっても優しい気持ちになれるひと時でした。午前中にブナの原生林を行くスノーシュートレッキングがあまりに楽しかったので、臨時追加で午後の五色沼スノーシューも参加。充実の裏磐梯でした。

雪で隠れている地形やそれぞれの沼の成り立ちや特徴、木や鳥や花や実の説明を聞きながらのトレッキングはとても楽しいものでした。コースや歩調も私たちに合せていただき、心地よく歩くことができました。 アカゲラが作った3階建ての穴や熊の大きな爪の跡など、ガイドさんなしでは気づかないことにも出会えたことも貴重な経験でした。 前泊してでも参加して良かったです。 山本さんありがとうございました。
