Walking alone in the winter snowfields feels unsafe. But I dislike walking in step with strangers on a group tour even more... For those who want to cherish their own time, I recommend the one-on-one guide from Travel Thread.
1. The Comfortable Distance Between 'Personal Time' and 'Guide's Perspective'
The private guide of Tabi no Ito is not just a presence that walks ahead and guides the way. We walk while always sensing what our customers are currently seeking.
- When you want to immerse yourself, be quiet: When you are captivated by the scenery or peering through the viewfinder. We take a step back and do not disturb your "silence."
- When you want to know deeply: Questions that suddenly come to mind, the history and wonders of Urabandai. At such times, we share deep knowledge unique to local guides.
Close yet distant, like the air surrounding you. This "optimal distance" maximizes the satisfaction of solo travel.
2. Leave photography to us: Preserve 'yourself' in memories
The only worry of solo travel is not being able to capture 'yourself' in the midst of wonderful scenery. Natural expressions and the silhouette of you walking that can’t be captured with a selfie stick.
At Tabi no Ito, guides will take photos of you with professional-grade equipment (or the latest iPhone). We will record every moment as you walk through the snowy fields and provide you with retouched data, allowing you to vividly recall that excitement even after returning home.
3. Safety is guaranteed by professionals: No need to worry about getting lost or limits
Winter in Urabandai is beautiful but also harsh. Exploring alone comes with risks of getting lost or sudden weather changes, but with a guide, you are freed from all of that.
- Leave route selection to us: Based on the day's weather and your physical condition, we will determine the safest and most beautiful route in real-time.
- Hands-free OK: Specialized equipment such as snowshoes and poles can be used with prior reservation. (Additional charge)
Your job is simply to be moved by the beauty in front of you and reset yourself.
4. A schedule-less schedule. For those who want to travel like that
The sense of obligation that says, "I have to go there today" is not part of the journey's thread. If you get tired along the way, brew a warm coffee and take a break. If you find a view you like, stop there for an hour. Enjoy the ultimate "change of plans" that is possible because it is limited to one group.
