Snowshoe hiking

Summary

We run around in a field of snow with our snowshoes on, go downhill on a sled, or lay down just for fun on the plain snow field. On this tour, there is also a hot drink break to soak up the breath-taking scenery of the Northern Japanese Alps and Mt. Ontake. We finish the tour with late lunch of local specialty dish in a warm room. Hida-Osaka is accessible both from Takayama and Gero in 40 minutes either by train or bus or car. The area is surrounded by mountains and forests. The clean and fresh air full of negative ions makes you feel so relaxed and refreshed. It's the best choice for those who are looking for the off-the-beaten path and forest bathing experience in Japan.
