Limited time offer: May 2nd-6th! Nature experience program for children.

Picchio, which offers an encounter with the rich nature of Karuizawa, will be hosting two special programs designed to stimulate children's curiosity for a limited time during Golden Week.

The spring forest, just beginning to bud, is full of discoveries unique to this time of year. Why not embark on an adventure that will create lifelong memories with a professional guide?

1. Day camp for elementary school students: "Picchio Children's Adventure Club"

The "Children's Adventure Club" is a nature experience program exclusively for elementary school students, where they use their wits and ingenuity to venture off the beaten path. Through a day spent with friends, they will play freely and grow stronger.

This year's theme: "Adventure in the forest! Follow the spring animal trails."

Key points:
• Exploration: Using a map and compass, you'll follow the animal trails.
Observation: Use a nest box camera to quietly observe the precious process of wild birds raising their young.
Food: We'll cook rice in a mess tin and curry in a Dutch oven ourselves. For dessert, we'll roast s'mores over a campfire!
• Photo service: You can view photos of your child's activities later in a web album.
