Kitashiobara-mura Private Winter Hiking in Kanjiki Tradition

A local guide certified by the Japan Mountain Guide Association will guide you in English on an original course that is part of Mt. Bandai Geopark and where you can see traces of an eruption. Rainwear, snow boots, and gloves are included, so you can participate empty-handed! Tours are also offered twice a day to make it easier to fit into your travel schedule. Each session is limited to five people, so it feels very private. Traditional folk tools from the snowy country have been used continuously by the Japanese people since ancient times. “Mino,” is now extremely valuable as there are fewer craftsmen making it in Japan. If you cosplay as “Kanjiki,” “Kasa,” or “Mino,” you’ll feel like you’re in a snowy country! You can also enjoy Aizu's traditional crafts and food.

Once you arrive at the meeting point, we will lend you snow gear and snow boots. Rental equipment is also included, so you can participate with confidence. A qualified guide will guide you in English on the completely frozen lake, which you can walk on only in winter. Each session will be held with a special plan limited to five people, with the feel of a private guide. You can enjoy the snow-covered landscape and the spectacular view of Mt. Bandai on clear days. We offer cosplay photo sessions using traditional costumes used in the snowy Aizu region, as well as opportunities to experience Aizu's traditional crafts and food.
