Plan introduction(Early Morning Snowshoe Tour)
Do you know how magical Hokkaido is?
You will encounter various phenomena which only happen in a very cold early morning.
Furano’s winter is one of the coldest in Japan, and the temperature often drops to 10 degrees below zero.
This creates a perfect condition for all the mystical phenomena to happen.
We will take you to Sorachi River to see a mystic morning fog caused by the temperature difference of the river water and air.
You will also witness things such as ‘frost-flowers’ created by frozen water vapor in mid-air, Hokkaido’s iconic scenery of frost covered trees, and much more.
The total duration of this tour is relatively short compared to other tours, and it only takes up a few hours of your morning.
Therefore, we highly recommend you to join even if you are on a tight time schedule!
