This event is a beginner-friendly hiking event with snowshoes.
I invite you to go to Nikko-Yumoto area this year (not Sengjo-gahara area).

We will start hiking from the Nikko-Yumoto visitor center after renting gears.
Then, we walk a bit deep into forest. The final destination is frozen Karikomiko lake.

Rental gears (a pair of snowshoe and poles) are available. Just 1000 yen!
