[Clothing & Items to Bring for Each Season]
- April to June
The walking paths in the Murododaira vicinity are buried in snow. The glare from the snow is rather
strong, so participants are recommended to bring sunglasses. And, although the temperature can be as
low as 5-10 degrees Celsius, when walking around you will warm up, so clothes that are easy to put on
and take off (clothes with buttons or zippers on the front) are handy.
- July - September
The temperature ranges between a comfortable 10 and 20 degrees Celsius, but because the sunlight on
the mountain is much stronger than you might think, participants are recommended to wear clothing
that does not expose much skin and is very breathable. And, because participants may sometimes feel
chilly, bringing a windbreaker or jacket is recommended.
- October
The temperature is 10 degrees Celsius or lower, and participants will often feel chilly. Because the
Murododaira vicinity may have some light snow, bringing thick clothing is recommended.
- November
The temperature often drops below freezing. Please prepare enough warm winter clothing.

11. 3 guests in 1 room is not permitted. For rooms with 2 guests, guests can choose between twin beds or a
double bed. A double bed costs less than a twin room, but is about 140 cm wide which is narrow for
two people. Thank you for your understanding.
