Situated in between the Yubari Mountain Range and Daisetsuzan National Park on Japan’s northern Hokkaido Island, Furano and Otaru offer immaculate backcountry skiing opportunities.
The area has hosted various world cup ski races over the years and boasts some of the best deep powder terrains on the entire island, including open powder bowls and deep tree runs.
Over the course of our 10 days together, we will head out and explore various steep slopes in and around Furano as well as Otaru, which is just two hours to the west.
We will likely try to spend five days skiing in each spot, but this may change depending on how the group feels and the weather conditions. Either way, get ready for pristine and untracked runs down steep slopes through incredible scenery.
Regardless of where we are, we will be sure to enjoy the plentiful and amazing powder. Due to the island’s unique location, huge amounts of dry and light powder, the perfect king for backcountry skiing, fall throughout the season.
Otaru receives some of the largest amounts of snow anywhere in the world, with average snowpacks of 15 meters and more.
When we are not skiing, we will be sure to enjoy some of the island’s culture, especially its food. Enjoy the lively atmosphere of the area in which we are based and learn a little something about this amazing part of Japan.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible 10-day backcountry skiing and cultural experience in Furano and Otaru, Japan!
If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our 4-day road bike and wine tour from Monterey Bay, California!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
