Unique, educational and good exercise. Better than a day trip. You get to interact with the nature and fellow travellers
Thank you for a great review for the snowshoe hiking tour! I am glad that you enjoyed the tour. Arigato-gozaimashita.
We loved the tour! Highly recommend it to friends and couples. It's an exceptional experience to walk through the forest and hear stories from the guide. It's a great way to escape the bustling cities, especially Tokyo. The scenery is calming and great for the body and mind. Atmospheric, beautiful and refreshing! Warmest regards from Anu & Chris.
Dear Anu, Chris, Thank you for writing a great review. I am glad that you loved the tour! It was really nice to meet you two!! Arigato Gozaimashita. Best Regards, Kouhei
This was a brilliant day out for a lone traveller. It took only minutes to become accustomed to snowshoes, and I could then enjoy the hike in pristine forest. Kouhei is a deeply knowledgeable host, a lover of the mountains and forests, and clearly a committed environmentalist.

Our entire family went snowshoeing with our guide Kouhei. It was a very enjoyable and informative tour. Kohei is a true gentleman and very knowledgeable guide. The experience was relaxed and fun even though there was a bit of walking involved. Lake Kagami was an absolute highlight and we were very fortunate to a have perfect weather. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who would like to explore Togakushi and experience something different to what the typical tourist route reveals.

My family and I have just had the most amazing experience with our guide Kouhei hiking through the snow covered Togakushi National Park. The scenery is so beautiful and Kouhei is the quintessential professional guide. His knowledge of the areas flora and fauna, it's history, it's folklore demonstrates how truly connected he is to this land. For us tourists who spend so much time pounding the pavements of Japan's major cities, this is the Shinrin-yoku reset you need to have. Thank you Kouhei🙏
Dear Andrew, Thank you for such a wonderful review. I am very happy that you enjoyed the snowshoe hiking tour in Togakushi a lot. Yes, we do need Shinrin-yoku sometime :) Thank you again!! Arigato. Kouhei
The guide and tour were excellent. They had all the gear we needed and a very picturesque route to hike through. I would definitely recommend this tour. Unfortunately, due to avalanche threat we couldn’t visit the temple.
Hi, Thank you for joing the snowshoe hiking tour the other day! It was nice to meet you guys! I am glad that you enjoyed the tour, and actually we were pretty lucky with the weather in the morning. I am sorry for not being able to visit the Okusha shrine due to the avalanche risk. Thank you again and enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan!
Fun experience to see the forests and mountains of Nagano. Our tour guide Kouhei was a gentleman, so warm and knowledgeable and created a nice atmosphere for the group. Thanks Kouhei, it was lovely to meet you!
