Description

Follow me to one of the most hypnotizing places for skiing in Japan: Hakuba. Allow me to show the places that I like the most in this skiing paradise in the Japan Alps.

Hakuba is so amazing, it hosted the winter Olympic games in 1998. This dazzling place offers breathtaking views of the whole region and the Japan Alps. Also, it is very easy to access from Tokyo, alongside with other major cities in the country.  

What’s more the snowfall each season is about 11 meters. Thus, the fresh snow never ends here, covering everything with a pristine layer of light dry powder ideal for the best powder hounds. Thus it is the perfect place for this unique skiing adventure.

Even though it is not a difficult place to ski through, I am not an instructor. Therefore, in order to make the most of this trip you should at least have an intermediate level. However, if you are an advanced skier, I know the perfect places to ride together, where you can test your skills.

But no matter your skiing level, here you’ll find thrilling slopes and fantastic descents. And, we will be accompanied by some of the most marvellous sceneries in the whole country.

So don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to explore the mesmerizing landscapes of Hakuba. I promise it will be a trip you won’t be able to forget.

You can also check this private, half-day skiing trip in Echigo Yuzawa if you are looking to explore the country more.

FWQ Athlete

- Skier
- 3rd in Women's Freeride Skiing Japan (57th in World Ranking)
- Residence: Tokyo
- English level: Native

I was born in Tokyo but have been based in Whistler, BC in Canada since high school. I moved in order to compete more regularly in Junior freeriding competitions. At the moment, I am traveling around the globe as I compete in the FWQ Tour. I am currently ranked 3rd in Japan.

In my spare time, I enjoy sharing my passion for freeriding with anyone and everyone who is interested in winter sports, including children. I love seeing people discover freeriding and realize how accessible it actually is.

When I am home in Japan, I typically ride in Hakuba and Echigo Yuzawa, as well as Sapporo and Asahidake in Hokkaido. I have been skiing around Hokkaido since I was 6 years old, and this is the place that first opened my eyes to freeriding. I would love to share it with you.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Cami

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.
