Product Info
- Welcome to the silver world of the Hira Mountains on the west side of Lake Biwa! We will climb toward a snow-covered waterfall. This activity includes wearing snowshoes, experiencing the sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top, being soothed by the waterfall, slurping down a cup of instant noodles, and sliding down the snowy slopes. While the ascent is via a hiking trail, you can take a shortcut on the way down and slide down the steep slopes. If you are not good at exercise or are worried about your physical fitness, you can just climb at your own pace. Let us enjoy the extraordinary snow-covered mountains. Imagine this: walking on a snow surface without any footprints, where only your own footprints trail behind you. You are the one who created a path in an unexplored land. When the wind blows, the snow dances, and the entire area is wrapped in a white curtain, creating a fantastic world! Also, places where streams flow or where there are bushes in summer can be walked on when covered in snow. If there is a small depression on the snow where no one should have walked, it might be an animal's footprint. While following those footprints, you can think about the animals that were there a few hours ago. You might even happen to encounter a small animal with red eyes. *There are various waterfalls, but we will decide which one to visit based on the snow conditions and the situation. *Depending on the snow conditions, you may need to take off your snowshoes.
- Snowshoe rental included!
- Regardless of age or gender, everyone who wants to play in the snow is welcome! Let us enjoy low-altitude snow mountain climbing with family and friends. Let us walk through the white world in the clear air! The feeling of stepping on snow is refreshing. The price includes the rental fee for snowshoes and poles.
- Even those who are not very good at exercise can take on the challenge!
- Although some physical strength is required, you are welcome to take on the challenge! As this is a small-group tour, the course can be changed. It is also important to have the courage to turn back without pushing yourself! Even if you cannot reach the waterfall, you can still enjoy the fun of walking in the snowy mountains. The tour duration will vary depending on your physical strength, the weather, and the snow surface conditions, but it is expected to be about 4 hours on average.
- Cup noodles on the snow are the best!
- We will prepare the equipment to boil water, so please bring your own cup noodles if you would like to have some.
Snowy waterfall!
