Omachi and Shirouma (Nagano)
Local Guide
[2026 year edition] at Omachi and Shirouma, Experience, would, winter recommendation Activity

A snow scene spreads from the end of November to March at Shinano-omachi spread in the foot of mountain in the north Alps and Hakuba-mura next to it. Wouldn't you like to enjoy Activity winter at a ski area where good powder snow lies thick on the ground, high plain and the lake abundant naturally? Pond smelt fishing is only Experience at which adult and a child are excited in a snowmobile.

I challenge the motorcycle on the snow which runs through a snow-covered mountain in Shirouma smartly.

Even a beginner is OK. I'll enjoy a powder orchid in the grand nature in Shirouma.

Colorful Activity is charm and is a club popular with foreigners, too. Snowmobile Experience which runs through the snowfield winter recommendation can't run by car. The license is unnecessary and a tandem ride (I ride with 2.) is possible by 6-a 11-year-old child, so even a family can enjoy itself. If they gather at the "lion cafe" established attached to an office, it moves by bus and is a lesson first. It's being run after that in the mountain of powder snow and the forest. 20 per hour-feeling of speed and exhilarating feeling to which I run on the snow by about 30 km don't collect though they're a course for beginners. A participant can rent an item of ski boots for 500 yen, so it's charm that you can go empty-handed.

It's a cafe before and behind Activity, comfortably.

"Burrito healthy chicken" of 1200 yen and cafe latte of 600 yen with purple rice of Hakuba specialty

The tool which was used for the purpose which walks on the snow from the old days in Japan "snow shoes" and the trekking which puts on a snow shoe and walks a snowfield. The aim different from noon can be enjoyed by the tour performed in the evening. When the sun sets, winter in Omachi and Shirouma becomes frigid, huge Orion flashed over head on the day which cleared up, and it was clear, a heart is investigated by a beautiful starry sky. A valiant figure in snow-white silvery snowscape and north Alps is compared with the month, and the day with moonlight is romantic. Special Experience which walks is waiting while stepping firmly on powder snow which lies thick on the ground deep at night of snow.

Time when coffee time in the great outdoors is paradise

Because it's winter night, it's being sold to the landscape of the grand snowfield which can be enjoyed.

A place is great Tanihara of Nakayama high plain in Omachi-shi or Kashima-yari sports Village (Kashima-yari ski area). One puts on and compares a snow shoes and a snow shoe by about 2 hour trekking tour, and can choose the person who tends to walk. The hot coffee time in the middle of taking a walk, is some time when happiness is felt unconsciously. The order of the Japanese hotchpotch pot (1500 yen) is also possible by an option.

Kizaki-ko Lake in 6.5 km of neighborhood in the base in the north Alps. Because the clarity is high and the water quality is good, "the pond smelt from Kizaki-ko Lake is good", and, it's famous even between the fishing lover. Pond smelt fishing is performed at any time of the year around because there are no closed seasons, a high season, autumn-winter. A heater is a put warm dome ship in 11-March, and Activity fishing can enjoy comfortably is popular. A beginner recommends Experience with a guide for 3 hours. You can also lend a full set of tool. I'll try fishing by my pace while telling me a way to apply of food and how to wind a reel.

The pond smelt which could be fished is in tempura by itself.

Pond smelt fishing uses 5 devices of a needle. That I twitch, a reel will be wound politely quickly while ascertaining the state of the device which moves. There is also a day the weather can't fish easily only in natural fish, but the impression the moment 1 could be fished, is much more. I return to a bank by motorboat after fishing, and you make the pond smelt fished by oneself tempura. The pond smelt you have just fried is light, and even how much is HOKKURI eaten gusto?
Then additionally Kizaki-ko Lake POW WOW can enjoy camp Tomari and SUPExperience in the green season.

The field which was used as a meeting place of a jump play and Nordic compound competition of the Nagano Winter Olympics held in 1998. A Japanese jump team got a gold medal at this place, and many impressions were born. A normal hill of the ground 107m, a large hill of 138m and 2 ski jumps equal a wide site as for about 2.5 Tokyo domes. To the inspection stage where I get on a lift and a view elevator and have that in the respective start spots. The height and the steepness which are to the extent the scenery judged by the same look as a player feels weak at the knees. The Tsutomu Osako's view spreads.

The attention item I had in medalist's achievements.

If I look at the superb view where I hold my breath from the height of about 28th floor of building, I'll also drop in at an Olympic gallery. Many picture and photograph are exhibited including a valuable gold medal. The lucky item in which also to want to pay attention at the inside could be close. 1 is the gold No.1 lift which forms a view elevator with the ground. Japan is another footprint of 4 jump team competition medalists who got a gold medal of the 100th of Olympic sum total. A certain victory is prayed and it's said that many athletes and students come in the lucky item aim.
