Winter Snowshoe Experience

【Exclusive views of the silver landscape】 Walk on the finest powder snow. Urabandai's "Snowshoe Experience" and snow animal tracking.

The "Urabandai" area, located in Kitakata's neighboring municipality of Kitashiobara, is a silver paradise where the finest powder snow accumulates at high altitudes. While skiing and snowboarding are the standard winter activities, I strongly recommend the "Snowshoe Experience" for those who want to engage more deeply and uniquely with nature, allowing you to walk freely through the snowy forest.

■ Explore the "secret route" that only appears in winter

The greatest charm of snowshoeing is the ability to walk on fluffy new snow without getting stuck.

• Unlimited exploration: In winter, you can walk the "secret routes" that are inaccessible in summer due to thickets and wetlands, deep within the forest and on frozen lake surfaces.
• Dynamic terrain: The undulating fields formed by the 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai provide the perfect stage for snowshoe adventures.

■ Become a "detective on snow" with animal tracking

What makes the experience even more interesting is the "animal tracking" where you search for signs left by wildlife on the snow.

• Drama on the snow: Together with a guide who knows the area well, you can discover traces of animals, such as the hopping marks of wild rabbits and the straight footprints of foxes.
• Excitement of the extraordinary: Please experience the sensation of becoming one with nature while feeling the breath of unseen animals in the serene, pure white forest.
