In winter Oze, where there are few visitors, a tour where you can enjoy the snowy scenery with a snow-packed car or snowshoes will start next year.
While many people visit Oze, which straddles Katashina Village in Gunma Prefecture, in the summer, it is covered with deep snow in the winter, and the number is significantly reduced. Will be done.
Before the tour started next year, a monitor tour for the media was held on the 2nd, and we took a snow-packed car from the ski resort at the foot of the mountain to the Fujimi Pass, which is about 1800 meters above sea level.
After getting out of the car, I put on snowshoes and walked with my guide to Ayamedaira, a nearby high moor.
On the 2nd, I was able to overlook the scenery that can only be seen in winter, such as Ozegahara covered with snow.
Yukihiro Umezawa, the mayor of Katashina Village who accompanied the tour, said, "I think it's a scenery that you can never see in summer. I want you to feel the splendor of nature."
The group plans to start the tour from the end of February next year, and since Oze is a national park, we will limit the number of tours and the number of people and take environmental protection into consideration.
