Summary: Following on from last year, I experienced it again this year. This year, unlike last year's snow, it was powder snow, which was my first experience. It seems that there is less snow this year, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Powder snow is so smooth that it doesn't even form snowballs. It was my first experience in my decades of living. This year, I rented the whole thing without hesitation, and it was cheap and warm. I had a great time with the bear, who I thought was my acquaintance. I will participate again. I love snowshoeing so much that I want to make it a tradition to do it at the beginning of the year every year. Even if you live in Tokyo, if you experience it in the afternoon, you can enjoy a day trip to a hot spring after the experience and go home. Since the meeting is at Yuai no Mori, you can get there by train and bus, and if you rent the whole thing, you won't have to carry much luggage, so I recommend it. Please try it.
