Togari Onsen Snow Resort This video, titled "Togari Onsen Snow Resort Promotional Video" (戸狩温泉スキー場プロモーションムービー), was uploaded by "戸狩温泉スキー場 Togari Onsen Snow Resort." It is a major winter leisure park where anyone, from beginners to advanced skiers, children to seniors, can enjoy themselves while enjoying the spectacular view of the Chikuma River below from the slopes. The video shows skiers and snowboarders racing down the three major slopes, "Pegasus," "Orion," and "Tondaira." Snow Strider Park - Enjoy Snow Biking at Togari Onsen Snow Resort! Photo:Snow bicycle Togari Onsen Snow Resort has a special slope called "Snow Strider Park" for snow bikes, which has become a popular winter activity in recent years. It's a new activity where you ride a fat bike downhill on a special 800-meter-long slope. While appreciating the spectacular view from above, you can enjoy an exciting bike ride on the wave, bank, and tree run courses. You can see and awesome view the snow bikes racing down the slopes at 0:38 and 2:10 in the video. It's said that snow bikes originated from snowy countries. During the cold winter months, the surface of the snow becomes so hard that it's possible to walk freely across it. The snow bike was made to ride on the hardened snow surface, and the bike further evolved into the fat bike, which can be rode on even soft powdery snow. Fat bikes are also available for rental, and you can take a lift up to the top of the slope, making them easy to enjoy. Toga Park, the Highlight of Togari Onsen Snow Resort – Kickers, Banks, and Boxes! Photo:Snowboarding One of the highlights Togari Onsen Snow Resort is Toga Park, a permanent course with kickers, banks, waves, and boxes that have been specifically designed for beginners and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. It’s a full-scale banked course that is even used in international competitions! At any time during the season, you can experience a powerful run on the 3D course that takes advantage of the natural terrain. Togari Onsen Snow Resort also has a permanent snowboard school and ski school taught by former professional snowboarders and skiers. The school is open to beginners as well as intermediate and advanced skiers who want to improve their skills. Delicious Food and Relaxing Hot Springs at Toga Source :YouTube screenshot When it comes to food at ski resort restaurants in Japan, many people think of the ramen and curry shown at 1:40 in the video! But if you've come to the foothills of the Kanda Mountain Range, spanning from Nagano to Niigata, we recommend taking advantage of the natural hot spring water and delicious local cuisine. Togari Onsen Snow Resort has two open-air hot spring baths, "Akatsuki-no-yu" and "Nozomi-no-yu," both of which are 100% free-flowing hot springs. The quality of the spring water is slightly alkaline, which is good for the skin, and is effective at relieving fatigue, and fighting neuralgia, and joint pain, making them ideal for relaxing after an exhilarating day of skiing or snowboarding! Please note, however, that Nozomi-no-yu is only open during the ski season. You can see the hot springs from 2:28 in the video. Furthermore, both Niigata and Nagano prefectures are treasure troves of food! We recommend sampling the delicious local cuisine and resting up in the hot springs. There are also stylish café bars near the slopes and restaurants in the rest areas, with French toast being a popular menu item. The Extensive Facilities at Togari Onsen Snow Resort Togari Onsen Snow Resort is a ski resort with a wide variety of courses, as the slopes leading to the two hot spring towns are connected via Tondaira Slope above. The total length of the slopes is 2,500 meters, making it a long course to enjoy. The largest slope is the Pegasus Slope located at Akatsuki-no-yu, and the central Gohon-matsu, Mimizuku, and Imoha courses can be accessed via the "Beetle 4" (1,037m) high-speed lift. There is also a children's slope and a kids' park for children, so families with small children can enjoy skiing and snowboarding without worry. During the winter season you can enjoy events, such as Igloo Hotel, the Togari Snow and Light Festival, and fireworks. Summary of Togari Onsen Snow Resort Photo:JR Iiyama Station, Nagano Prefecture To get to Togari Onsen Snow Resort in Iiyama City in northern Nagano Prefecture, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Iiyama Station to Togari Nozawa Onsen Station via the local line.

In this article, we'll introduce some 100-yen items that can be used for solo camping. Video Introduction This video, titled "[100-Yen Camping Gear] 100-Yen Items That kimu23 Would Use When Solo Camping" (【100均キャンプ道具】きむ23のソロキャンプに使えそうな100均アイテム), was uploaded by "CAMP HACK," a channel run by kim23, a popular Japanese YouTuber and avid solo camper.

At Japan's 100-yen shops, you can find many lightweight and easy-to-use items. You may find it easier to get started with solo camping casually by first purchasing 100-yen items, and then gradually moving on to more authentic camping gear. Japan's 100-Yen Shops and Camping Equipment Photo:DAISO The three 100-yen stores that carry the stylish camping equipment featured in the video are DAISO, Seria, and Watts.

About Minna Island Photo:Minna Island, Okinawa Minna Island is located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island. To get there, you'll have to take the high-speed boat "New Wing Minna" from Toguchi Port, which takes about 15 minutes. The island was uninhabited in the past, but is now a small island with a population of about 50 people. Minna Island is also called "Croissant Island" because it's shaped like a croissant when viewed from above. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and coral reefs, the island attracts as many as 60,000 tourists a year. Minna Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the main island of Okinawa, where visitors can enjoy scuba diving, as well as snorkeling, banana boating, and other activities.

Scuba diving is the best way to enjoy the beautiful underwater world of Minna Island. There are many diving spots on Minna Island as well. The most famous diving spots are: Todaishita, Yellow Fish Rock, Wasawasa, Popeye, Olive, Cable, Yosuji no Ne, and Portside.

Must-Know Knots for Campers Japan's camping boom has led to an increase in the number of people who have just started camping or are looking to get into camping. In this article, we'll introduce three useful knots for beginner campers, so anyone new to camping can familiarize them with knots, which are essential for setting up tents and tarps and a variety of other tasks. Video Introduction This video, titled "[Super Convenient] 3 Useful Rope Knots for Camping [Two Half-Hitches, Taut-Line Hitch, Bowline Knot]" (【超便利】キャンプで役立つロープの結び方3選【ツーハーフヒッチ・自在結び・もやい結び】), was uploaded by "MotoCamp" (MotoCamp【モトキャンプ】). Useful Knots for Camping and Other Outdoor Activities and How to Tie Them Photo:A knot Knots are incredibly useful for camping and outdoor activities. They can be used to secure tents to stakes or even hang a tarp. Furthermore, ropes are also very useful for hanging small camping equipment and drying dishes. However, if you just have a rope and don't actually learn how to tie knots, the rope is nothing more than a piece of rope. Therefore, learning how to tie knots is an important component of a comfortable camping trip or outdoor experience. Unfortunately, learning how to tie knots can be a bit challenging for beginners. Therefore, in this article, we'll introduce three practical knots that even beginners can learn. They're useful for camping and outdoor activities, so take this opportunity to learn them! How to Tie a Two-Half Hitch Source :YouTube screenshot The first knot we'll learn is the "Two-Half Hitch." [Video] 0:20 - Two Half Hitch This knot has three features: ・It's easy to tie ・It's relatively tight ・Useful for setting up tarps Now, let's take a look at how to tie it. Be sure to follow along with the video to see an actual demonstration of how each knot is tied. 1. Take the short end of the rope and pass it under the long end and then pull the short end through the loop it creates. 2. Do the exact same thing directly below the first loop and then pull the short end of the rope upwards towards to first knot to tighten it. 3. Pull the long end of the rope tight and you're done! The rope will now be securely fastened to the post. It's easy to untie this knot, so be sure to try it a few times to make sure you've got the hang of it. How to Tie a Taut-Line Hitch Source :YouTube screenshot The second knot we'll talk about is the "Taut-Line Hitch." [Video] 1:24 - Taut-Line Hitch The features of this knot are as follows: ・The length of the rope can be easily adjusted. ・Convenient for securing stakes when setting up a tent. Now let's take a look at how you tie a Taut-Line Hitch. 1. Once again, take the short end of the rope and pass it under the long end and then pull the short end through the loop it creates. 2. Again, just like the Two-Half Hitch, do the same thing below the first knot, except this time create some distance between the first and second knots. 3. Then, pass the shorter rope through the loop created between the two knots once more. 4. Tie another knot below the second knot. Finally, tighten the rope and you're done. The rope doesn't wiggle when pulled, but the length can be adjusted by holding above the knot and pulling. How to Tie a Bowline Knot Source :YouTube screenshot The final knot we'll go over is the "Bowline Knot." [Video] 3:59 - Bowline Knot The perks of this knot are: ・It's tight ・Convenient for securing ropes It takes some practice, but it is one of the most important and basic knots, and is essential for enjoying outdoor activities and camping. With that out of the way, let's learn how to tie a Bowline Knot. 1. Make a loop with the longer rope. 2. Below that loop, pinch the rope together and pass it through the loop you just made from the top. 3. Pass the end of the shorter rope through the loop sticking out of the other loop from underneath. 4. Pull the short long end away from the short end to form a knot. This secures the knot and completes the Bowline Knot, which will not budge in the slightest. This knot is also called the "King of Knots." Because of its strength, this knot is frequently used not only for camping and outdoor activities, but also for mountain climbing, loading trucks, and even on construction sites. If you're employed in a field that uses knots, the Bowline Knot can be incredibly useful. Summary of Essential Knots for Beginner-Level Outdoor Enthusiasts Photo:Guy lines There are many more knots than this. If you're serious about camping, mountain climbing, or any other outdoor activities, learning how to tie knots is important. If you can learn how to tie knots, you'll be able to set up tarps, tents, and hammocks using trees and rocks even in places where the ground is too hard for stakes. Knots can also be used to secure yourself to something in the event of a natural disaster, or to carry an injured or sick person to safety. Finally, here are a few more important knots you can look up. ・The Figure-Eight Knot: A knot that won't come undone even if it's caught on something. ・The Clove Hitch: A knot that acts as a stopper when your rope is not long enough. ・The Butterfly Knot (Butterfly Loop): Convenient and practical for hanging something or for drying clothes. ・The Trucker's Hitch: which can be more strongly secured by tying a double knot. All of these knots are useful for camping and outdoor activities. If you try to learn too many at once, it may be difficult to remember how to tie them. We recommend by starting with the three knots shown in the video so that you can use them immediately in camping and outdoor situations. They may come in handy in unexpected situations! -

Furthermore, camping in a snowy area means you can play in the snow, or even use the snow as a free cooler. You can also enjoy making lanterns out of snow, a fun experience that can only be experienced when winter camping. Consider bringing a shovel so you can try different activities like this! With all of this in mind, we ask, why wouldn't you want to camp in the cold? Enjoy Winter Camping to the Fullest: Choosing the Right Tent!

Japan's Solo Camping Boom Due in part to the Corona pandemic, camping has become a popular way to get outside and enjoy nature and the outdoors in Japan. Traditionally, camping was often a family or group activity, but "solo camping" has been on the rise as of late. Solo camping is a great way to get away from the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some time alone in a quiet environment. Having some alone time to get in touch with nature can be relaxing, and it also provides an opportunity for self-reflection. In this article, we'll take a look at some useful gear for solo camping.
