■Event and content details (planned)
Snow Experience for Kids:
We will provide an opportunity for city-dwelling children, who usually have few opportunities to come into contact with snow, to learn about the "fun of snow" and the "culture of enjoying the seasons" by having them enjoy playing in the snow. We will provide a sledding experience and snow play space so that children can play freely in the snow.
Snowboarding experience for kids:
In cooperation with Murasaki Sports, which sells action sports equipment for surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and more, we will provide equipment that makes it easy for children to put on snowboards, and staff will assist them in getting the experience of snowboarding.
