[Winter Only] TAPA Bungalow & Snowshoes (Bed type)
Snowshoeing & Stay Only Minakami, Gunma - Camping and snowshoe are the perfect winter activities!
■Snowshoe & TAPA Bungalow Accommodation (Bed Type) Plan
You can choose to meet up for snowshoes in the morning or afternoon.
There is also a half-day course starting the next morning, so please feel free to join us.
★Snowshoes are a Western version of traditional Japanese snow shoes. Use poles (specialized stocks) to walk on the natural snowy ground, and experience the snowy scenery of nature, the clear and refreshing air, the feeling of walking on the snow, and nature itself with your own body. A specialized snowshoe guide will guide you to the wonderful silver world created by the natural nature of Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture.
As you walk on the natural snow, you can come into contact with nature, such as animal footprints and tree buds. If you're lucky, you might encounter wild animals such as chamois, foxes, and rabbits.
On a sunny day, you can look out over the silver world, where you will be overwhelmed by the view of white snow and blue sky. Please experience the wonder of snow, which is different from hiking.
