Activity

Winter forests are full of things to discover♪

Walking on the frozen lake, looking at the artistic snow on the trees, and following animal trails are just a few of the surprises and discoveries to be made in the winter forest.

Beginners are welcome!

Snowshoeing is a recreational sport anyone can enjoy from the moment you put your snowshoes on. The pleasure of stepping on fresh snow and walking along a pathless trail is sure to be an addictive experience.

A photo to take home as a memory of the tour!

During the tour, the guide will take pictures of you and give them to you as a memory to take home. (on request only)

A special winter experience in Togakushi!

Togakushi Shrine is busy with tourists from spring to autumn, but in winter, the area is covered with thick snow and is very quiet and mysterious. We will walk deep into the forest and explore the area on snowshoes which can be done only during winter.
