Nordic walking involves walking with special poles in both hands. It is a fitness sport that is said to be effective for rehabilitation and weight loss because it is a full-body exercise that puts less strain on the knees. The walking course is within Noshiro City, but the course changes on each day, and the course includes the city's erosion control forest "Kaze no Matsubara" (a pine forest with a total length of 14 km from north to south), Noshiro Park, and Noshiro's "town center". Enjoy the city of Noshiro while walking. Special poles for Nordic walking are included in the experience fee, so you do not need to prepare poles. *Please wear comfortable clothes on the day. Since you will be holding the poles, it is convenient to carry luggage in a backpack or shoulder bag that leaves both hands free. It is also convenient to bring gloves or work gloves (the poles are fixed to the hands with bands to prevent the bands from rubbing against the hands). *Members of the "Shirakami Nordic Walking Club", which is based in Noshiro City, will also walk with us. ◆Meeting place: Noshiro City Tourist Information Center (inside JR Noshiro Station) ◆Meeting time: 9:10 9:20~ Warm-up 9:30 Depart for Nordic walking in Noshiro City 11:00 Return ~ Cool down (stretch after exercise) and then disband

This is a workshop where you can experience making snowboards using thinned cedar wood. This project contributes to the SDGs by using unneeded thinned wood without waste. Snowboarding is a sport that combines skateboarding without bindings or edges, surfing, and snowboarding. The surface of the board is non-slip, so you can enjoy it easily with boots or snow shoes. What is a snowboard? Snowboards and snowtoys are a unique Japanese culture that was born from the idea of sliding across the snow with a wooden board. This simple toy, which has no edges or soles and is coated with varnish or resin and has a non-slip surface where you place your feet, spread quickly throughout snowy countries, giving birth to creative shapers all over the country and is still spreading rapidly (from the BUDDHABLANK website). Enjoy the winter season with a one-of-a-kind snowboard that you made yourself!
