Upon arrival, get ready! Beginners will receive instructions on how to wear and walk in snowshoes. Once prepared, grab your gear and start the adventure!
Walking on snow can be slippery and difficult with boots, but snowshoes have spikes and a design that prevents sinking, allowing easy movement.
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!
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.
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.
After snowshoeing, drive back to the city.
Those who met at the location will be dropped off there.
