Playing in the Snow on a Vast Snowfield: Snowmobile Experience

We’ll be offering snowmobile rides in the garden at Mori no Terrace again this year. Anyone with a driver’s license can drive. Even if you’ve never driven a snowmobile before, the controls are simple, so please feel free to ask a staff member for assistance. You’ll explore the Mori no Terrace grounds on a snowmobile, heading toward the Dragonfly House. Depending on snow conditions, you may even be able to ride across the rice paddies, allowing you to fully enjoy the vast snow-covered plains. The snowmobiles can reach higher speeds than you might expect, so please hold the handlebars firmly and drive with caution. Reservations are required, so please call or email us to book a time and specify the number of participants before visiting. Please note that this activity may be canceled depending on snow conditions and weather. Check-in is at the Steak House; please ask for Yamada. TEL: 0186-67-6295 EMAIL: info@morino-terrace.com
