At this time of year we will be taking snowshoes . Snowshoeing all depends if it snow's, usually we get the first snows in Nov but when it snow's in Nov changes year by year. Sometime it is at the begining and sometimes at the end of the month, it can be alot of snow and sometimes very little . We just don't know. But ! things can change over night very fast in Hokkaido in Nov.

Recommend Hiking Clothes
   * Light thermal underwear layer, top & bottom
   * Hiking shirt & pants
   * Outer shell or rain wear
   * Fleece or warm top (for a extra layer in your backpack if thing get cold)

Recommend Footwear
We recommend hiking boots or high rubber rain boots preferable with a liner and with thick socks. if you only have hiking shoes we strongly suggest you wear gaiters with them . We also suggest that you waterproof your shoes and boots with a waterproof spray.

(If your boots or shoes get wet on the way up to the hut, we can dry them out by the fire.)
