Snowshoe Tours in the Japan Alps

>> Click here for Evening Snowshoe & Fondue Tour

Evergreen offers snowshoe tours for the Hakuba region of Japan and can provide your group with all of the essentials: snowshoes, packs, gear, and transportation. Really, you couldn't do our tours for a cheaper price. The Hakuba area has endless trails on mountain ridges or through old growth forests, shrines, and we can also show you natural hot springs not on the map. If you are interested in snowshoe tours for Japan backcountry access, then check out our Japan backcountry tours. Most of our snowshoe tours are for families and groups of friends, so feel free to contact us and make custom plans, we are happy to help.

Minakami area snowshoe tours are provided by Canyons.

Evening Snowshoe and Fondue

Hakuba Nightlife Options

The options are simple:

a. Go for a walk on slippery winter roads.
b. Visit one of the many popular smoke filled bars in town.
c. Join Evergreen on an evening snowshoe and chocolate fondue tour.


If you chose c. then you are very wise and we at Evergreen are happy to guide you under the bright stars of Hakuba. The walk is not strenuous, but just enough to work up an appetite for dessert fondue in a specially crafted snow shelter called a Kamakura in Japanese. It is not unusual to see wild badgers, rabbits, fox, mink and Kamoshika (Japanese mountain goat) while hiking on our tours.
