Winter Snowshoe Experience

【Exclusive breathtaking views】 Walk on the finest powder snow. Urabandai 'Snowshoe Experience' and animal tracking on snow.

The 'Urabandai' area, located in Kitakata's neighboring North Shiozawa village, is a silver paradise where high-quality powder snow accumulates at a high altitude. While skiing and snowboarding are the standard winter activities, I highly recommend the 'Snowshoe Experience' for those who want to engage more deeply and uniquely with nature, allowing you to freely walk through the snowy forest.

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

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

• Unrestricted exploration: In winter, you can walk on the 'secret routes' that are inaccessible in summer due to thickets and wetlands, deep in the forest or on frozen lake surfaces.
• Dynamic terrain: The undulating fields formed by the 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai provide an ideal adventure stage for snowshoeing.

■ Become a 'detective on snow' with 'Animal Tracking'

What makes the experience even more interesting is '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 tracks of a hopping wild rabbit or the straight footprints of a fox.
• 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.
