Description
Discover the magic of Hokkaido's winter landscapes on a guided snowshoeing adventure through the deep, fluffy snow of Asahikawa!
Located in the heart of Hokkaido, Asahikawa is known as one of Japan's coldest cities, making it an ideal destination for experiencing the island's famous powder snow. Just an hour from downtown, you'll find peaceful forests, snow-covered countryside, and beautiful views of the Daisetsuzan Mountains.
During this 4 to 5-hour guided snowshoe hike, we'll explore the winter scenery at a relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities to have fun along the way. Depending on the conditions, we might follow animal tracks through the forest, play on natural snow slides, explore a snow cave, or stop to admire the mountains and the city blanketed in white.
As a local guide, I'll choose the best location and adapt the route to your interests, experience level, and the day's weather and snow conditions. Whether you're trying snowshoeing for the first time or simply looking for a different way to enjoy Hokkaido's winter, this adventure is a great way to experience the outdoors.
Join me for a memorable day in Asahikawa and discover the quieter, wilder side of Hokkaido's winter!

What people are saying about Daiki

We did two days of backcountry skiing/splitboarding with Daiki as a group of four, and it was some of the best touring any of us have ever experienced. The terrain selection was outstanding. We skied phenomenal lines and found completely untracked runs both days. Daiki’s knowledge of the area was equally impressive. He clearly understands the terrain, snowpack, and weather patterns at a deep level, which allowed us to maximize great skiing while keeping avalanche risk thoughtfully managed. We always felt safe and confident in his decision-making. I would highly recommend Daiki to anyone looking for an unforgettable backcountry experience. We’ll absolutely be back.

Daiki was an excellent guide. The route he recommended was amazing to see the autumn colors I was searching for. Daiki shared interested information of the region along the way and also adapted to my own pace so I could enjoy. I would book again if o have the chance. Highly recommended!
