The winter forests is full of fun!
When you hear the word “winter forests”, you get the impression that the leaves of tree have fallen and feel lonely, but that isn’t true. There are many surprises and discoveries in the winter forests, such as following the footprints of animals, enjoying the snow art created by the wind and observing winter buds!
Welcoming snowshoes beginners!
The real pleasure of snowshoes is that anyone can enjoy winter sports from the moment they wear the gear.
The exhilaration of feeling fresh snow by own feet and going on a road without a road in the woods must get you go in again soon!
Free photos for your memories of the tour!
On our tour of Shinano Discovery, your guide will take photos of you during the excursion and gift them as memories of the day at the end of the tour. (Only for those who wish)
