Kamikochi Rime Ice TourThis tour visits Kamikochi, which is closed for the winter, and allows visitors to see nature as it is in its natural state.
Only Raicho offers tours in the early morning hours, when beautiful rime ice appears in Kamikochi.
We will support you on your journey to find the moment to return to nature and be impressed by the beautiful mountain scenery.
You will understand why Kamikochi, surrounded by silence, is called the "God's Descent Place," a secluded region within a secluded region.
Rime ice is super-cooled mist particles blown by the wind onto trees and other surfaces, and the stimulation causes ice to form on them, just like snowflakes. It looks like a snowflake or a white flower blooming on a tree, and has an indescribable beauty.
Chance of seeing rime ice: 20% (based on Raicho tours in FY2022).
Rime ice is more likely to appear when it is cold the night before the tour and the morning of the tour day is clear and windless.
Even if you cannot see rime ice, Kamikochi offers many attractions such as reflection at Taisho Pond, the Hotaka mountain range, and the chance to see wild monkeys.
※If the weather conditions make it difficult to see the fog and ice, the tour can be rescheduled for another tour, or cancelled without notice.
The maximum number of participants is 6 *Minimum number of participants: 2 (*If the number of participants is not reached, the tour will be cancelled).
