EXCELLENT Based on 5 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor FarAway14067971970Verified The highlight of our 2026 snowshoe trip We joined the snowshoe hiking tour on Feb 16, and the whole trip was guided by Summer. From the very beginning, Summer patiently showed us how to put on the snow gear properly. During the hike, he slowed down several times because we had kids in our group who needed to rest, and he always waited for everyone to catch up. At the end of the tour, he even took us to a quiet, private spot where we could relax and enjoy hot tea, coffee, and some snacks. Everything was arranged in such a thoughtful and professional way. Along the way, Summer shared stories about Hakuba Iwatake, the local history, and the natural environment. He also carefully reminded us which paths were unsafe or not suitable to walk on, which made the whole trip feel very safe while still being fun and informative. Throughout the entire tour, Summer showed great patience and professionalism, and this experience became the highlight of our trip to Japan. Thank you so much, Summer, for guiding us. If we have the chance to visit again in the future, we truly hope you can be our snowshoe guide again.Posted on Tripadvisor Jin T.Verified Wonderful experience It was such a good experience to do snowshoe on Iwatake Summit. We really enjoyed it. Also, Mei; our tour guide, is so nice. She helped adjusting the length of the tour and the route according to our fitness skills. I would recommend anyone to try the snowshoe tour with Hakuba Snowshoe.Posted on Tripadvisor Chloe BVerified Amazing! We had the best trip with Hakuba Snowshoe! We could not recommend this tour more. The tour guides were just amazing!Posted on Tripadvisor Mike PVerified Great Family Experience Fantastic trek, couldn't have asked for better. Guide was fantastic and went at a pace best suited for all involved (2 unwell hikers in the group). Length of hike was great and plenty of breaks to take in the environment and to cater to the fitness levels in the group. Could not recommend Hakuba Snowshoe highly enough ......... if we could have rebooked agin during our stay we absolutely would have.Posted on Tripadvisor helen pVerified Awesome experience, walking in a beautiful forest, tiny animal prints in the snow & learning of the black bear. Loved it The whole experience was awesome, the booking process so easy, great communication, pick up & drop off. Excellent equipment & thanks to you both at Hakuba Snowshoe for your shared knowledge & guide information along the way. We would highly recommend this experience. Thanks once more, Helen & Brian (Blue Mountains Australia)
