Yamagata Prefecture is in the north of Japan near the Japan Sea. It is famous for snow! This year we planned a New Year's trip, but one week before we left there was only 15cm. However it then started to snow heaviliy, and over 2 metres fell in the following two weeks. The weather wasn't so good but we had a lot of snow!
It was very light, airy snow, with no base, so snow-shoeing was very hard - fun, but very tiring.

This trek was not long in length, but it took us nearly 8 hours. IT is not an established trail, so good care and experience in deep snow is required. Only does this route with a group of people, as there are many places you could get stuck!
We stayed at the very comfortable Pole Pole farm (http://www.polepole.co.jp/), renting a cottage for 10 people. All food included. The owner is also a mountain guide.
