TEAM BUILDING MENU

Mt. Tarumae

The dome of Mount Tarumae is a restricted area, but walking around the outer rim offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Lake Shikotsu, providing an impressive trekking course. Trekking is essential for team building, and setting up multiple courses with Tarumae-san Okunomiya Shrine as a point of interest could be a great idea.
