If you want to ski longer and explore the less accessible powder areas in Hokkaido, this trip is itinerary is for you! This is a 4-day backcountry tour in the quiet and beautiful mountainous area of ​​northern Hokkaido.
Most of the routes feature gentle gradients, with only a handful of steeper sections, making them ideal for those who prefer a relaxed pace. The tours wind through serene, snow-laden forests and across wide, open slopes that offer plenty of space to enjoy the powder.
The terrain is particularly well-suited to beginners and intermediate skiers, offering a safe yet exciting way to experience backcountry skiing. Thanks to its northern location, this area consistently receives some of the finest, driest snow in all of Hokkaido.
Accommodation is in a traditional Japanese inn, where you’ll stay in comfortable shared rooms (typically for 2–3 guests). Breakfast and dinner are included, showcasing local flavors, and after a day on the slopes, you can unwind in a spacious onsen (hot spring bath), a quintessential Japanese experience that soothes tired muscles and completes the day in true comfort.
