The ultimate outdoor adventure in the wilderness of Mount Ontake
“EXPLORER CAMP MEETING” is an event that embodies the “For Outdoor & Adventure” concept of Kushitani’s EXPLORER brand. In the magnificent natural environment of Mt. Ontake, it offers an adventure experience that cannot be experienced in everyday life, from mountain riding on off-road bikes to campfires at campsites and stargazing under the sky.
Participants will spend the night feeling the breath of the earth, and the next morning they will be able to enjoy the sunrise over the sacred mountain and the sea of clouds. These two special days will truly bring to life the EXPLORER philosophy of “Go outside and enjoy an adventure.”
Hands-free off-road experience with four off-road vehicles
Four off-road vehicles (Nicot Moto) are available for hourly rental on-site. Vehicle rental costs are included in the event fee and there is no additional charge. Of course, participants are welcome to bring their own bikes.
A thorough program has been put together, starting with vehicle allocation and off-road lessons, so that even first-time off-roaders can participate with confidence.
Taste the bounty of local Nagano with a BBQ and stargazing guide
In the evening, you can enjoy a BBQ featuring local Nagano produce such as Shinshu pork and char. A starry sky guide will also be on hand, and on clear days you can spend a special time under the star-filled night sky.
The next morning, you will head to the top of the course as the sun rises, where you will have the thrilling experience of viewing a magnificent sea of clouds.
