Minakami is an outdoor adventure paradise throughout the whole year. Winter brings tons of powdery snow blanketing the open landscape. This is a moderate level trip with a lot of the climbing covered by a cable car. In total we will cover approximately 6km with 600M of elevation gained and lost. All of the climbing is gradual with breathtaking views all around.
Our hiking route will start at the top of the Tenjin-daira ropeway where we will follow a rolling ridge taking 3km to gradually climb up to the summit of Tanigawa-dake, one of the 100 famous mountains of Japan. Depending on the weather conditions and temperatures, we could enjoy lunch and hot drinks up on the summit, or stop at a nice hut just below the summit. Tanigawa-dake is an amazing peak all year round, but the scenery is at it's best during the winter.
There are many places on this route where we will be able to sled down, making for a very exciting descent.
After getting back to the lift, we will make a short drive to a local hot spring to warm up in a great outdoor bath by a river.
*Snow trekking experience not required for this trip
