Limited to winter! Snowshoe Half-day course

Snowshoes, Decided for Winter snowshoes outdoor activities in Minakami Let's enjoy Gunma's winter.

Try an adventure into the snowy world on snowshoes? Enjoy snowshoeing as a winter outdoor experience in Minakami, Gunma イメージ

What is Snowshoe?
Snowshoeing is the Western version of traditional Japanese snowshoes. Use poles (dedicated stock) to walk on the natural snowy ground and experience the snow scenery of the great outdoors, the crisp, clean air, the feel of walking on snow, and nature itself with your own body.
A professional snowshoe guide will take you to the marvelous silver world created by the great outdoors of Minakami-machi, Gunma Prefecture.
As you walk through the natural snow, you can come into contact with nature, such as animal footprints and tree buds. If you are lucky, you may even be able to encounter wild animals such as chamois, foxes, and rabbits.
On a sunny day, you can get a panoramic view of the silver world where the white snow and blue sky are overwhelming. Please experience the wonders of snow, which are different from hiking.
