【Safe Response】What if the weather turns bad? Decision-making and safety standards for Urabandai private tours


「旅行当日の天気が悪かったらどうしよう……」 自然を相手にする裏磐梯の旅において、天候への不安は当然のことです。

At Tabinoito, we prioritize your safety by establishing clear criteria for holding tours and flexible response measures. We will explain the guidelines to ensure you can make a reservation with confidence.

1. Criteria for determining tour開催

In principle, we will hold the tour if "safety can be ensured even in rain or snow". In winter in Urabandai, it is not uncommon for beautiful scenery to unfold the moment the blizzard stops. However, in the following cases, we may suggest cancellation or changes for safety reasons.

  • If a "storm warning" or "heavy snow warning" has been issued for the relevant area by the Meteorological Agency
  • If the guide determines that there is danger due to field conditions (fallen branches, sudden temperature drops, poor visibility, etc.)
  • If public transportation is suspended or major roads are closed

2. Timing and criteria for cancellation notification

The decision will generally be made by "7 PM the day before", and we will contact you directly via LINE or phone. However, since mountain weather can change rapidly, there may be cases where the final decision is made on the morning of the day. In such cases, we will also communicate promptly to avoid wasting your valuable time.

3. Proposal of "Plan B" due to weather

"Since I've come all the way to Urabandai, I want to create some memories"

Because it is a completely private tour, we can provide the best "alternative plans" on the spot, such as shortening the course according to the weather or switching to a relatively gentle stroll through the beech forest.

What is the current real-time weather?

"Does it seem like we can hold the tour according to this weekend's forecast?" "What is the current state of the snow?"

We are always available to answer your questions about weather conditions via LINE.
