Description
Jozankei Onsen is called the back parlor of Sapporo. Jozankei is blessed with a rich natural environment and has beautiful scenery. A nature guide will lead you through the winter forest of Jozankei wearing Western snowshoes called snowshoes. The winter forest is full of fun elements such as fluffy powder snow, the sound of animal footsteps, bird watching, and snow slides. With snowshoes, you can walk anywhere you want, even in places where the snow is so deep that you would normally not be able to go into them. No experience or skill required. It can be easily enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly. During the tour, we pitched a simple tent and took a break along the river. Enjoy the atmosphere of the quiet Jozankei valley! After the experience, we will stop by a hot spring. We provide free transportation to and from Sapporo Station. This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy both snowshoeing and hot springs in Hokkaido in winter.
