path to lodge Not sure what to do in Golden Week? Join English Adventure in Nagano's Yatsugatake Quasi-national Park!

Our van will carry you in comfort, faster than the normal train and taxi ride. Hike about three hours through spectacular scenery, reaching the Akadake Kosen Lodge deep in the park. A delicious dinner and hot spring bath will be waiting for us! The next day, you'll have your choice of hiking or climbing courses, before we enjoy another beautiful walk out and return to Tokyo.

yatsugatake rangeIf you're new to winter hiking, this trip is a perfect introduction, with no experience needed. Walk with English Adventure's guides on trails that are challenging but accessible even for beginnners. This trip will not include any technical climbing, but lots of exciting snow hiking. Everywhere we go, you'll enjoy incredible views and photo opportunities!

English Adventure is offering this event at the lowest possible cost! We want to test the interest in this new type of event, and simply enjoy getting outdoors with you! If you went by yourself by train and taxi, the trip would still cost the same. But with English Adventure, you'll get expert guiding for your safety and enjoyment, and the chance to share the fun with other interesting people.
