3. Arrive at Orofure Pass and Start Snowshoe Hike

   Snowshoes, also known as Western-style kanjiki, let you walk easily on deep snow where regular shoes would sink.

   
4. Walk Among the Frost-Covered Trees

   The trees are completely covered in white, from trunks to branches, creating a magical contrast with the blue sky on sunny days. Enjoy the enchanting silver-white world!

   
5. What Exactly Are Frost-Covered Trees?

   When temperatures drop below -5°C, water droplets freeze onto trees, forming juhyo. While Zao is well known, Orofure Pass in Hokkaido is a hidden gem for seeing these frosty trees.
