"Walking alone in the winter snowfields is concerning for safety. But I dislike walking in step with strangers on a group tour even more." For those who want to cherish their own time, we recommend Tabinoito's one-on-one guide service.
1. The Comfortable Distance Between 'Personal Time' and 'Guide's Perspective'
Tabinoito's private guides are not just there to walk ahead and show the way. We always walk while sensing what our customers are currently seeking.
- When you want to immerse yourself, stay quiet: When you are captivated by the scenery or looking through the viewfinder. We take a step back and do not disturb your "silence."
- When you want to know deeply: Questions that suddenly arise, the history and wonders of Urabandai. At such times, we share in-depth 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 your "self" in memories
The only concern of solo travel might be not being able to capture your "self" in the midst of wonderful scenery. Natural expressions and your silhouette walking that cannot be captured with a selfie stick.
At Tabinoito, guides will take photos of you with professional 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 those emotions even after returning home.
3. Safety is guaranteed by professionals: You don’t have to worry about getting lost or limits
Winter in Urabandai is beautiful but also harsh. Exploring alone comes with the risks of getting lost or sudden weather changes, but with a guide, you are freed from all of that.
- Leave route selection to us: We will assess the weather of the day and your physical condition in real-time to determine the safest and most beautiful route.
- Come empty-handed: Specialized equipment like snowshoes and trekking poles can be used with prior reservation (additional fee).
Your job is simply to be moved by the beauty in front of you and reset yourself.
4. Unscheduled plans. For those who want to travel like that.
The sense of obligation that says, "I have to go there today" does not exist in Tabinoito. 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.
