What to bring:
We provide all equipment including tents, BBQs, cooking equipment and utensils.
Change of clothing
We recommend to bring extra clothes in case you take part in some activities.
Swimwear and towels
You will be playing in the river on the second day of the camp so you'll need your swimwear and towels.
Waterproof shoes and sandals
Playing in the river with bare feet may hurt you, please wear enclosed shoes.
No flip flops or thongs.
Hats/sunscreen
Remember to bring a hat and/or sunscreen as the sun is scorching hot in Hakuba.
Insect repellent and other accessories
It would be helpful if you have insect repellent in the evening and the nighttime, the bugs are around. A bear bell and a torch or small light will be helpful.
Warmer layers for evenings and mornings
It might get chilly under the shade of a tree, and also it cools down in the morning and at night.
You may want to wrap yourself up in layers to protect yourself from the cold.
Copy of travel or health insurance
Weather may force a change in program so it is advised to have insurance in place.
Any medical aids/medicines
Please do alert us to any allergies to medicines and/or dietary requirements.
When is the best time to come?
Those who would like to see fireflies are advised to join the camps from mid - late July. Hakuba is known for it's firefly population, and as animals that only exist in close proximity to very pure water and undergrowth - typically where they meet - we are fortunate enough to have some here. July camps tend to be quieter than August, so you can also enjoy a more personal experience with a great guide to guest ratio!
