【Early Morning Exclusive】Experience the untouched silver world of Urabandai. A private tour in silence, leaving the "first footprints" in fresh snow

At 7:30 AM, before the tourists arrive, the air in Urabandai cools to nearly minus 10 degrees, bringing about a "perfect tranquility" where all sounds are absorbed by the snow.


Imagine the luxury of leaving the first step in a snowfield wrapped in the pale blue light just after dawn, a feeling that cannot be experienced on tours from major travel companies.

Why "early morning"? Discover the true face of Urabandai as taught by the professionals.

While the scenic spots of Urabandai during the day are beautiful, what professional guides love the most is actually the early morning. There are special phenomena that can only be seen during this time.

  • Diamond Dust: On a morning when conditions are right, moisture in the air freezes and reflects sunlight, creating a sparkling, fantastical sight.
  • Rime Ice: The moment when trees are cloaked in pure white ice, contrasting most vividly with the blue sky.

All of these are fleeting beauties, like delicate "threads," that disappear on warmer days.

Because it's "one group per day," we never miss the best conditions.

Regular tours are bound by a "meeting time," but our custom tours at Tabi no Ito have no fixed schedule.

If we determine that "rime ice is expected tomorrow morning," we will suggest an early morning departure. Conversely, if a snowstorm is forecasted, we can slide the schedule to the calmest time. This ultimate flexibility is possible because we focus solely on one group per day.


An overwhelming sense of emotion that leaves you speechless.

Only your footprints extend across the vast snowy field. Such an experience is available only to you, the one group at Urabandai.
