FOREST & WATER NATURE GUIDES ARE SPECIALISTS WHEN IT COMES TO OUTDOOR SPORTS

What is Snowshoeing?

Snowshoes make it fun and easy to walk through snow! In Canada and in Northern Europe recreational use of snowshoes has become quite popular, although their use by native peoples predates modern history. Modern snowshoes have a variety of intended uses, from snowy plateaus to deep forests. Wherever you use them, they make playing in the snow a truly unique experience.

Snowshoe Tours

Forest and Water offers a variety of tours that vary in length and difficulty. These include Half and Full-Day tours, along with Short and Private tours. Depending on your needs we can design a tour especially suited to your needs.

Please contact us for further information.

Full-Day Tour

This course allows you to see first hand natural phenomena found nowhere else in the world. The famous of Ichinokura mountain stream, the ice stalagmites of the 'Big Ghost' cave, and the quiet Acorn Forest are all fun and challenging possibilities!

Snowshoe Tour

Half-Day Tour

Snowshoe Tour

For an amazing adventure that everyone can enjoy, we recommend the Half-Day Tour. All ages are welcome! If you want to get the most out of nature, please come and play in the snow with us!

Short-Day Tour

If you're worried that the Full-Day Tour might be too demanding, this is a great alternative. We strongly recommend the Short-Day tour for people who love to eat lunch in the snow!

Private Tour (Weekdays only)

Private Tours generally have much smaller groups than the Full or Half-Day Tours, which gives the guide the opportunity to make it a really special experience. Where usually many groups are combined into one tour, only the customer booking the event decides who attends. Private Tours are limited to families, couples, and friends. We also ask that customers who wish to bring pets use this option. Please ask about surprise events, birthdays, or commemorations.

Tanigawa Mountain Summit

After you summit Tanigawa, you will never forget the feeling of excitement and accomplishment when you get to the top. This course is limited to customers who have climbed two times or more in the last year.

Urami Waterfall

This is a special tour only held in the coldest part of winter, when the waterfall completely freezes. It's a rare opportunity, so let's take advantage of it together!
