Snowshoeing Begins
Walking on snow can be slippery and difficult with boots, but snowshoes have spikes and a design that prevents sinking, allowing easy movement.
Discover Animal Tracks
As you explore, look for animal tracks in the snow. Could they be from a rabbit, Ezo deer, or fox? Observe and see which animals you might encounter!
Reach Scenic Spots or Ruins
Destinations vary daily. You might visit Hokuto Ruins with reconstructed ancient dwellings or a viewpoint over Kushiro Wetlands. Limited spots offer views of the meandering wetlands, making it a special opportunity.
*Scenery and points of interest vary depending on the course.
Break Time
Walking in the snow is surprisingly tiring. Take a break and enjoy a warm coffee (cocoa or tea available for non-coffee drinkers). Build a snowman or enjoy the snow. After the break, head back to the starting point.
Return to the City
After snowshoeing, drive back to the city.
