Snow hike Nikko

This is the first announcement of one day Nikko snowshoe hike on Feb. 11th Saturday.

We will walk Senjogahara (戦場ヶ原) area, Nikko, Tochigi. The destination is frozen Iori-daki waterfall (庵滝)
(Perhaps I will change the route depending on the course condition and participants.)
After the hike, we will visit nice onsen.

I found a very recent Japanese hiking report on the internet.
