Experience the charm of snowshoeing in the season when Biei shines!
Snowshoeing is a great way to experience Biei’s winter, the most beautiful season of the year.
Biei has beautiful natural scenery from season to season, and you may have a strong image of the spring and summer seasons when flowers bloom all over the prairie.
However, Biei in winter, when the hills as far as the eye can see are dyed in a world of silvery white and the air is filled with dignity, offers an experience of immersion in nature that can only be experienced on a trip to Hokkaido.
Snowshoeing in Biei is one of the most recommended activities in the Basho Trip, allowing you to fully enjoy the winter in Biei!
Snowshoeing is an activity that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages, so it can be done for any occasion, such as a trip with family or friends.
Introduction to Snowshoeing in Biei
Snowshoeing is a recommended winter activity in Biei, where you can explore nature by wearing snowshoes, a mountaineering equipment for walking in snowy mountains.
All you have to do is put the snowshoes on the bottom of your shoes.
Even if you are not accustomed to walking on snow-covered paths, you can easily make your way.
It is no exaggeration to say that the first thing you will feel when traveling in Biei in winter is the difficulty of walking on snowy roads.
It is almost impossible to walk on the softly piled snow in Biei, even if you are in a town where the snow has been shoveled.
However, with snowshoes, you can easily walk on such soft and difficult snow-covered paths, and you can easily enter deep snow-covered mountains that are difficult to reach.
However, accidents are always possible in snowy mountains in winter. It is best to avoid walking around on your own.
Of course, Basho Trip recommends snowshoeing in Biei, which is a safe and reliable tour led by an experienced guide.
You can also experience snowshoeing on the hills of Biei, which is something you can’t do on your own, so don’t miss it!

The silver world spreading out all over the place is just like Northern Europe. Snowshoeing through the forest in Biei
If you want to enjoy the snowy landscape of Biei to the fullest, we recommend going into the forest.
This is because in the forest, you can feel closer to the nature of Biei, visiting the clear blue river and running through the fairy-tale trees that you cannot experience when snowshoeing on the hills.
Snowshoeing in the forest, with only the sound of snow stomping in the air, is a great way to get a luxurious time of mindlessness, perfect for modern people who tend to think too much.
One of the two courses you can choose, the Giant Tree Forest and Snowfield Course includes 286 stairs to climb up and down!
It may be a bit tough for those who are not physically fit, so for those who want to enjoy a more leisurely stroll, the “White Birch and Blue River Course” is recommended.
There is also a break time at the mysterious Blue River Drink, so you might want to try it just to see something scary.

What do I need to prepare for snowshoeing in Biei in winter?
When you decide to try snowshoeing in Biei in winter, you may be wondering what kind of preparation you will need.
Basically, everything can be rented, but warm clothes and winter goods are a must!
Even in winter in Biei, where the average temperature is below freezing, you will sweat as you move around on snowshoes, so it is recommended to wear warm, quick-drying underwear.
The tip of your body is the part of your body that feels the cold the most.
Not only your fingers and toes, but also your ears can get very cold in cold weather, so it is highly recommended that you bring ear muffs and a hat that covers your ears.
If you need them, you can also rent overshoes that can be worn over your shoes, so let them know when you make your reservation and come prepared for your snowshoe tour!
Snowshoeing is an experience that can only be had in the winter in Biei, and we hope you’ll try it at least once!
