Ride the deep and mysterious forests of Hokkaido with me, a professional Freeride World Tour skier.
I am ranked first in Japan, and seventeenth in the world. With Hokkaido as my base, I know the secret powder points of the region.
Hokkaido is the second largest island of Japan that lies at the northernmost point of the country. The geography of the island fits perfectly into a weather pattern that brings an abundance of white powder. Some areas even receive between 14-18 meters of snowfall each year.
Hokkaido has a reputation for deep powder skiing. And with the island being sparsely populated, it has a deeper rural feeling. Less tracks, more wilderness. Less noise, more solitude.
There are dozens of ski resorts in Hokkaido that are close together. Rusutsu is a haven for deep powder snow, with annual falls of 14 meters. It is home to some of the greatest tree skiing in the world.
The resort of Niseko is one of Japan’s most international, receiving constant snow and home to quality runs. Or the Asahidake resort which contains the highest mountain in Hokkaido, keeping the snow very cool. Mount Asahi is a stratovolcano, which last erupted in 1739, and rises to 2,291 meters.
So take advantage of this opportunity and join me in the sublime Japanese mountains of Hokkaido.
Get in touch now to reserve your place on a 1+day skiing adventure with world-class skier Taisuke Kusunoki in the mountains of Hokkaido.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
