Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • This snow trekking trip takes you to see a massive frozen waterfall with a drop of over 50 meters. Frozen waterfalls form all over the mountainous areas of southern Nara Prefecture during the winter, but this one is one of the largest. The snowy mountain trail has some rough footing in places, so you'll need to wear light crampons and walk slowly with a guide. The hike takes about an hour to ascend, taking leisurely photos as you go, and about 40 minutes to descend.
  • Hot water service for lunch
  • Your guide will prepare hot water for lunch, so if you bring instant noodles or instant soup, you can enjoy a warm lunch on the snowy mountain.
  • Fully equipped rental equipment!
  • Helmets are available for free rental. Other rental items available include poles, lightweight crampons, gloves, shoes, backpacks, and clothing, for an additional fee.
