Escort to the right field at the right time
Infield holds backcountry tours from mid-January to early June, focusing on the Myoko, Kubiki, and Hokushin areas (including Mt. Tateyama and Mt. Chokai in spring). They will guide you to the recommended courses at the recommended times. There are
introductory tours for first-timers, powder tours in the dead of winter, classic day trips to the Myoko outer rim, mountain hut tours to enjoy the spring granular snow, tours with hot springs and delicious food, tent tours deep in the mountains, tours using step-cut skis, and more niche tours.
A wide variety of tours like this are planned based on the concept that "we want people to enjoy not only skiing but also the experience of going to the mountains itself."
