- Snowboarder - 1st in Women's Freeride Snowboarding Japan (5th in World Ranking in 2018) - Residence: Central Hokkaido - English level: Fluent
I'm a Freeride World Tour athlete as well as a PSA professional snowboarder.
Among the achievements I'm most proud of are: - Champion of Freeride World Tour in Hakuba - 5th overall in 2018 Freeride World Tour - Champion of Freeride World Qalifier in Hakuba - 1st in Japan for Freeride World Qualifier - 2012 JSBA All Japan Snowboarding Competition SX, 1st - 2014 SAJ All Japan Ski Competition SBX, 3rd
For the winter season, I will be based in central Hokkaido. Furano, Niseko, and Zao Onsen are among my favorite resorts in Japan. I've also skied a lot in Whistler (BC, Canada) and The Remarkables in New Zealand.
I can have everyday conversations in English and am happy to ride with both skiers and snowboarders. I would just love to spend some fun time with people who love to ride!

Wakana was amazing! She showed us around Tomamu ski resort, in search of the freshest powder and she did it great. Thanks a lot Wakana, it was a pleasure snowboarding with you!!

I booked 2 days with Wakana and she has been a really great guide! Absolutely no regret! Wakana knows very well Hokkaido overall and will make sure to bring you to the best areas outside the slopes whether you’re a skier or snowboarder. She has been very flexible onto the organization, adjusting the tour to go to the best spots to find good snow. We were originally thinking to spend the 2 days in the Furano area but ended up going to Kamui the second day where there was finally more powder. Most importantly, she’s also a very nice person to spend time with. I definitely recommend her!
