About

It takes about one hour of night hiking to reach the night view spot and we will climb up the mountain with headlamps and either snowshoes or snowspikes. The mountain at night has a surreal atmosphere. You will have the dynamic night view all to yourself in an empty private space. Specialized equipment such as snowshoes and poles can be rented free of charge. Warm clothes, shoes, and headlamps can also be rented for a fee. Please let us know at the time of reservation if you wish to use them.
