What are snowshoes?
If you want to enjoy the great outdoors, this is the one for you!
Snowshoes! It's a Western version of the traditional Japanese snowshoes. Use poles (similar to ski poles) to walk through the mountains and experience the spectacular scenery, air, the feeling of walking on the snow, and nature itself with your own body.
A professional snowshoe guide will guide you through the great outdoors of Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture.
Enjoy a silver world that no one has stepped into.
When you walk through nature, you may see animal footprints, tree buds, and if you're lucky, you may encounter wild animals.
On a sunny day, you'll be overwhelmed by the view of white snow and blue skies. Experience the wonder of snow, which is different from hiking.
