I felt great being surrounded by nature; it truly felt revitalizing. It was interesting to hear various stories amidst Hokkaido's great outdoors. The coffee break along the way was delightful, and it made me realize that I need a bit more leisure in my life. I would also like to participate in cycling and other activities in the summer.
自然の中に入ってとても気分が良くまさに生き返る感じがしました。
北海道の大自然の中色々なお話が聞けて興味深かったです。途中のコーヒータイムも美味しいコーヒーをいただき、もう少しゆとりのある生活が必要と思いました。また夏もサイクリングなど参加してみたいです。

I participated in a 2-night, 3-day trip to Sapporo in late January 2017.
I couldn't make it to the Snowshoeing at Heidi Farm, so I switched to the Snowshoeing in the Forest of the Ezo Owl.
Ezo Owl Forest Snowshoe Tour - Enjoy Animal Observation!
<Includes pick-up from Sapporo City / January to March / Sapporo City>
https://www.veltra.com/jp/japan/hokkaido/sapporo/a/126900
The location was a natural park called "Showa no Mori Noboribetsu Nature Reserve," which was about a one-hour drive from hotels in Sapporo.
It was my first time snowshoeing, but I got used to it quickly. Walking on the fluffy snow was a very enjoyable experience.
The outside temperature was around -10°C, but I didn't feel cold at all; in fact, I was quite comfortable and even a bit sweaty.
I couldn't find the Ezo Owl, but there were many cute little birds like woodpeckers and possibly a Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker.
We dug into the snow to make a table and chairs, and took a break with hot tea brewed by our guide. It was touching when a little bird came and perched on my hand while I was eating chocolate during the break.
The guide's stories were very interesting throughout the tour. Even in the car during the pick-up, I learned about local stories from Hokkaido and Sapporo, which made the rest of my trip in Sapporo much more enjoyable.
When I mentioned that I wanted to go to the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market instead of the hotel on the way back, they kindly took me there.
Also, I was happy to receive the photos taken by the guide via AirDrop on my iPhone right before we parted ways (of course, for free).
I'm glad I participated. If I have the chance to go to Sapporo again, I would like to join tours organized by this company, not just snowshoeing.

2017年1月下旬2泊3日の札幌旅行中に申込み、参加しました。
ハイジ牧場の丘スノーシューは都合が付かず、
エゾフクロウの棲む森スノーシューに振り替えました。
エゾフクロウの棲む森スノーシューツアー 動物観察を楽しもう!
<札幌市内送迎付き/1月~3月/札幌市>
https://www.veltra.com/jp/japan/hokkaido/sapporo/a/126900
場所は、「昭和の森野幌自然休養林」と言う自然公園で、
札幌市内のホテルから車で1時間弱の所にありました。
はじめてのスノーシューでしたが、すぐに慣れました。
ふわっふわの雪の上を歩くのはとても楽しい体験でした。
外気温-10℃ほどでしたが、寒さは全く感じず、むしろ汗ばむくらいで快適でした。
エゾフクロウは見つけられませんでしたが、
キツツキやアカゲラ?など可愛い小鳥が沢山いました。
雪を掘ってテーブルとイスを自作し、ガイドさんの淹れてくれる熱い紅茶で休憩しました。
休憩中にチョコを食べていると小鳥がやってきて手に止まったのが感動的でした。
終始ガイドさんの話がとても面白かったです。
送迎の車内でも、北海道や札幌の地元話などを教えて頂き、
その後の札幌旅行がとても楽しくなりました。
帰りはホテルではなく札幌中央卸売場外市場に行きたいと伝えたところ、
快くそこまで送って頂きました。
また、別れ際にガイドさんが撮影した写真を
iPhoneのAirDropですぐに貰えたのも嬉しかったです(もちろん無料)。
参加して良かったです。
また札幌に行く機会があれば、スノーシューに限らず
この催行会社主催のツアーに参加したいと思いました。

Yes, I will want to come back for this trip some day if I visit Shiretoko again. Mr Ayano the guide speaks English well and showed detail of the forest well. He knows good spot to take photos. I enjoy the snow shoeing very much also when there is a steep way that we have to slide down. It is very fun. I enjoy the peaceful forest with only the sound of wood pecker bird and the smell of fresh trees. The panorama is magnificent. And we had a perfect weather when I join this tour March 27, 2017. I wish I had stayed there longer, sit back and relax to enjoy the view with the deers. Oh we saw more than 30 deers! And meet red fox relaxing on the snow. Once in a lifetime activity one must do.
Hi Nova-san
Thank you very much for signed up my tour the other day.
I’m glad that you enjoyed nature in Shiretoko.
And I greatly appreciate your wonderful comment.
Hope to see you again.
Gratefully,

In the morning, we were picked up on time and drove to the forest park. On the way, we stopped by Seicomart. Our guide, full of local love, shared the wonders of Seicomart with us, and we got some delicious soft water and melon soft serve! The soft serve was really tasty.
This was my third snowshoe experience. In the serene forest, we could only hear the sound of our snowshoes. At various points, the guide shared interesting stories and information about the plants and animals living in the forest, including how to make snow angels. While sweating quietly, we reached a rest area where we enjoyed tea time at a snow table. After warming up with some tea, we set off to search for the Ezo owl. Just when I was feeling disappointed because it wasn't in its usual spot, I spotted it perched on a nearby pine tree! It was looking at us with its big, round eyes. We also saw a great spotted woodpecker, which showed off its beautiful orange-pink belly.
I was quite sweaty, and the alcohol I had the day before in Tanukikoji was completely gone, leaving me with a happy moment surrounded by beautiful scenery. Next time, we'll go cycling in the summer. Thank you, guide Ueda!
朝、時間通りにピックアップしていただき車で森林公園へ。向かう途中、セイコーマート(セコマ)に立ち寄り。地元愛溢れるガイドさんに、セコマの素晴らしさを伝授していただき、軟水の美味しいお水とメロンのソフトクリームをゲット!ソフトクリーム、美味しかったです。
スノーシュー体験は3度目。凛とした森の中、スノーシューの足音だけ。ところどころでガイドさんが、色々面白いお話や、森に棲息する動植物の話をしてくれます。スノーエンジェルの作り方も。黙々と汗かきながら、辿り着いた休憩所では、雪のテーブルでティータイム。紅茶であったまった後、いざ、エゾフクロウ探しへ。いつもいる場所にはいなくて、がっかりしかけたところに、近くの松の木で佇む姿を発見!くりくりの目をしっかり開けて、こっち見てました。さらには、アカゲラも。綺麗なオレンジピンクのおなかを見せてくれました。
かなり汗だくになり、前日、狸小路で注入したお酒がすっかり抜け、美しい景色に心もあらわれた幸せな時間でした。今度は夏にサイクリングですね。ガイドの上田さん、ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. I also enjoyed guiding both of you. Yes! Please let me guide you on a cycling tour as well. Let's become one with the wind together! ♪

Since it was a night tour, I was a bit worried about participating with my family (including my third grader), but we had a great time. We were able to borrow all the necessary equipment, like snowshoes, and the kids were excited yet nervous about their first snowshoeing experience, but they ended up walking around happily, so I think it was a good experience for them.
We stepped into the edge of the vast Daisetsuzan National Park, felt the great outdoors, and when we looked up at the sky, it was so clear that it felt like the stars were falling, making us forget the cold for a while.
In the end, we also got to enjoy a hot spring, which made the tour very satisfying. The guide mentioned that many people participate in the tour when they have some free time in the evening, so the convenience of joining is likely part of its appeal.
夜のツアーということで、家族での参加(小学3年生含む)がちょっと不安でしたが楽しく過ごせました。
スノーシューズやスノーシューなど全てお借りでき、子供達も初めてのスノーシューでの散策にドキドキしていましたが、サクサク歩き回っていましたので良い経験になったかなと思います。
大雪山国立公園というとても大きな国立公園の端っこに足を踏み入れて、大自然を感じ、空を見上げれば星が降ってくるような透明感で寒さも忘れてしまうような時間でした。
最後に温泉にも入れて満足なツアーでした。
ちょっと夜の予定が空いたときなど利用してツアーに参加される方も多いとガイドさんが言っていましたので、手軽に参加できるところも魅力なんでしょうね。

I participated in the night cruising at Tokachidake. I borrowed snow boots at the reception and then traveled by car for about an hour to the location. A kind and handsome instructor helped me put on the snowshoes, handed me a light, and off we went!
He explained a lot about the types of trees we encountered. There were many pines, but I thought the leaves looked more like a mix between cypress and cedar. I learned that you can tell the wind direction by the way the branches grow, and that some trees change dramatically over time. There were also trees that smelled refreshing when you rubbed them, making for a very enjoyable walk.
I was impressed by how well the snowshoes handled the snowy paths. The wisdom of people from the past is truly remarkable. We reached the goal by sliding down the snowy mountain like a slide. This area is commonly known as the "Miyama-sama" slope, where trees were cut down for members of the imperial family to ski.
Looking up at the night sky, the stars were absolutely beautiful. After that, I soaked in a hot spring, warming my body to the core. There was also an outdoor bath where the kids were having fun, but it was too cold for me to handle, haha.
I had a wonderful time enjoying the nature of Hokkaido, and it became a great memory. Thank you very much!
十勝岳のナイトクルージング参加させて頂きました。
受付でスノーブーツを借りて、そこから現地まで車で小1時間程移動しました。
優しくてイケメンのインストラクター君がカンジキ装着するのを手伝ってくれ、ライトを持たせてもらい、いざ出発〜♫
木の種類の説明をたくさんしてくれて、松科が多かったんだけど、松と言うより檜と杉の間みたいな葉っぱだなあと思いました。
枝ぶりで風向きが分かるとか、時を重ねると見た目がガラリと変わる木、揉むと清々しい香りがする木などなど、とても楽しく散策できました。
雪道をもろともしないカンジキってすごいなあと感激。
昔の人の知恵は素晴らしい。
ゴールは雪山を滑り台のように降りました。
そこは通称宮様ゲレンデと呼ばれ、皇室の人が滑るために木が切られたんだそうな…。
夜空を見上げると満点の星。とても綺麗でした。
その後は温泉につかり、身体の芯まで温まりました♫
露天風呂もあり、子ども達は楽しんでましたが、さすがに私は寒すぎて無理でした笑笑
北海道の自然を満喫できてとてもいい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。

Winter trip to Hokkaido. After searching for experiences that can only be enjoyed during this season, I ended up trying snowshoeing. Since it was my first time and I had an elementary school child with me, I was worried about whether it would be okay, but the guide carefully checked everyone's situation as we progressed, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Additionally, the guides are all nature guides, which made the experience fun, and they provided various explanations about nature, keeping my child interested and engaged. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.
冬の北海道旅行。この時期にしか体験できないものは無いかと探した結果スノーシューにたどり着きました。初めてのスノーシューで小学生の子供がいるので大丈夫かと心配でしたがガイドの方がみんなの状況を細かく確認しながら進んでいけたので安心して楽しめました。また、こちらのガイドの方はは皆ネイチャーガイドといって体験も楽しくさせてもらえるのですが自然についていろいろ解説して頂けるので子供も興味津々で話を聞いて楽しめていました。機械があれば是非また参加したいです。

It had snowed quite a bit the day before, making it slightly more difficult to walk than usual, but thanks to the snowshoes, we were able to progress steadily through the fresh snow. It was great that the guide shared the names of rare plants, which we wouldn't have been able to identify on our own. When we got close to the waterfall, the guide pointed out, "There's a fox," and when we looked over, we saw a fox quietly watching us from behind a tree before it disappeared into the forest.
When we reached the turnaround point, we hadn't encountered any deer yet, and I jokingly said, "We can't go back without seeing a deer!" Suddenly, a group of five or six deer appeared right in front of us. It was so moving! The guide advised us to approach them gradually, without showing too much interest, and we were able to get quite close. We enjoyed watching the little deer that flew around us and took plenty of pictures.
On the way back, I wanted to see the sunset, and the guide hurriedly packed up the snowshoes. From a nearby cape, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! Since we were the only participants during the off-season and the weather was perfect, it turned out to be the best day ever!
前日に雪がけっこう降り、通常よりも若干歩きにくい日のようでしたが、スノーシューのおかげで新雪の中を、ずんずん進むことができました。
ガイドさんが珍しい植物の名前などを教えて下さるのが良かったです、素人には見つけられないので。
滝の近くまで行った時「キツネがいるよ」と教えて下さり、そちらを見ると、
キツネさんが、木の陰でじっとこちらを伺い、そして森の奥に消えていきました。
折り返し地点まで来て、シカにはまだ出会えていなかったので、「シカに会えないと帰れないわー」とか言っていたら、突然目の前にシカが5,6匹現れました。感動しました~(*^_^*)
「シカに関心がない風に、正面からではなく徐々に近づくように」と教えて下さり、かなりの近距離まで行くことができました。私たちの近くを飛び回る小ジカをじっくりと眺め、写真もいっぱい撮れました。
それから帰り道、私は夕陽が見たかったのですが、ガイドさんはスノーシューを急いで片づけて下さり、途中の岬から、とてもきれいな夕陽を眺めることができました!
シーズンオフで参加者が私たちだけだったのと、お天気にも恵まれ、最高の1日になりました!!

I was wondering if I could experience a typical winter in Hokkaido, so I debated between the Asahikawa Zoo tour and this one, ultimately choosing this tour.
When they came to pick me up at the hotel, they were about 20 minutes late, possibly due to traffic.
Since it was a weekday, there was only one other participant besides us. It was nice to have a more intimate experience.
The tour ended early, likely because there were so few people.
Wearing warm clothing and boots, I had a great time trudging through the heavy snow! My grandmother was excited to see such deep snow for the first time, but she mentioned that the snowshoes felt heavy, probably due to her lack of stamina.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any animals, but the guide provided a lot of interesting information.
Afterward, I enjoyed a warm cup of coffee.
After the tour, I received many photos via email, which made for great memories.
I really appreciate the kindness shown to us!
冬の北海道らしい過ごし方が出来ないかなと思い、旭川動物園のツアーとどちらにするか悩んでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ホテルまで迎えに来て下さる際、道路が混んでたからか20分ほど遅れてきました。
平日だったからか私たち以外に1人しか参加していませんでした。
こじんまりと行く事が出来て良かったです。
終了時刻も人数が少ないからか早く終わりました。
防寒着を着て、防寒靴を履いてノシノシ大雪の中を一生懸命歩いて楽しかったです!
祖母はここまで積もる大雪を見るのは初めてだったので、はしゃぎましたが、やっぱり体力がないからかスノーシューズは重いと言ってました。
残念ながら動物は見る事が出来ませんでしたが、色々ガイドをして下さいました。
その後暖かいコーヒーを飲みました。

We set off wearing snowshoes in a snowy forest, and it was reassuring that we didn't sink into the snow even as beginners. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. We saw footprints of squirrels and deer, and I heard the sound of a woodpecker for the first time. The highlight was meeting an owl in its tree hollow. It was breathtaking. It's amazing to see an owl in the forests near Sapporo. I was able to take photos, which are very soothing to look at. It's a tour where you can really feel the beauty of nature.
雪の森にスノーシューを履いて出発、初めてでも雪に沈まないので安心です。ガイドの方がとても良い方で色々説明して下さいます、リス、鹿の足跡がありました、キツツキの木を叩く音も初めて聞きました、そして一番の目的のフクロウに会いに、いました木のうろに。感激です。札幌近郊の森でフクロウが見れるなんて最高です。写真も撮れたので見て癒されています。自然を沢山感じられるツアーです。
Thank you, Sugu-chan, for participating in the tour the other day. I am delighted that you enjoyed it; it truly makes being a guide worthwhile. In the Sapporo area, there are still forests where rare animals live. The Ezo owl is one of them, and it’s quite soothing, isn’t it? Additionally, different fields offer different ways to enjoy the experience, so please join us again. I look forward to our reunion. Thank you for sharing your experience.
スグちゃんさん、先日はツアーに参加くださいましてありがとうございました。喜んで頂いてガイド冥利に尽きます。札幌近郊には希少動物も棲息する森が残されています。エゾフクロウもその一つで、癒されますよね。また、フィールドが違えば楽しみ方も違って来ますので、ぜひまたご参加ください。再会を楽しみにお待ちしています。体験談ありがとうございました。
