In this tour, experience authentic ice climbing on a towering ice wall with a height of 25m near the world heritage site Nikko Toshogu.
After you meet the staff at Tobu Nikko Station (or JR Nikko Station), we will ride the car to the office. There, while watching a small video on ice climbing, we will teach you how it's performed and what things you should watch out for. Rest assured that once you have changed into your ice climbing clothes, we will make sure you learn how to use your gear well.
Once you reach Kirifuri Plateau (Toji-no-taki waterfall), it's time to get ice climbing!
First of all, practice on a beginner's ice wall with a gentle slope and not very tall (about 15 m), and if you are used to it, you can then try climbing the large 25 m ice wall.
After the activity, return to the changing office by car, change clothes, and ride back to Tobu Nikko Station.
