Sugatami (Upper) station

Temperature ＝- 4℃
Wind Speed＝ 10m/s
Visibility ＝Poor

Trails= Icy, slippery, and invisible

This means you will need:
spikes, ice axes, crampons,high-top waterproof boots, GPS app, mobile battery, face mask,knit cap, cold-weather gear, gloves, snow goggles, avalanche transceiver, helmet, etc.

Depending on the location, snowshoes cannot be used yet because there isn’t enough snow accumulation. They damage the hiking trails and alpine plants surface.

If your equipment is inadequate, absolutely do not go away from upper station.

The risk of getting lost or suffering frostbite increases.
