Experience the “Wisdom of the Snow Country” in Tokamachi

Unlike modern plastic snowshoes, our tours invite you to wear “Kanjiki”—traditional circular snowshoes made of wood and rope. For centuries, people in Tokamachi, one of Japan’s heaviest snowfall regions, have used these tools to walk atop the deep snow in their daily lives.

Walking through the silent, pristine white forests with these traditional tools offers a unique connection to the history and local lifestyle that you cannot experience anywhere else.

We are honored by this recognition and hope it encourages more travelers to discover the authentic beauty of life in the Snow Country. Rentals and English-speaking guides are available, so beginners can join with complete peace of mind. We look forward to welcoming you to Niigata!
