Description

Let me invite you to spend a great half day together in one of my favourite ski destinations: Asahidake, in the island of Hokkaido.

I am a top ranking Freeride World Qualifier skier, 57th in the world and 3rd in Japan. When I am not participating in competitions around the world, I like to share my passion for skiing with others on fun ski sessions!

Hokkaido, in Japan, is where I began when I was 6 years old. It is in fact the place that opened my eyes to freeriding, giving me the chance to travel all over the world. Asahidake is one of my favourite places in Japan. The ski resort is located within the Daisetsuzan National Park, near the town of Higashikawa. Winters here are cold and snowfall is abundant throughout the season. This means we will certainly enjoy great powder and I will show you the best spots to ski in!

The terrain in Asahidake is varied, providing options for all levels. But I require you to be at least an intermediate skier, able to assess the limits of what you can and cannot do.The idea of this half day is for you to have a fun outing, while you follow my lines and learn tips from a pro. Additionally, since I am not a certified guide, we will stay within the boundaries of the ski resort.

Interested to meet me in Asahidake for an exciting half day skiing? Then please request to book this trip and let’s set a date! I look forward to seeing you there and showing you how a professional athlete skis. And if you have more time in the area, you can join me for one or more days here.

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.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
