1-day powder skiing tour in Sapporo, Hokkaido
Enjoy an exciting journey of backcountry skiing in the powder snow of Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido, together with a certified mountain guide.
Description
I invite you to a backcountry skiing trip starting in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. Enjoy the best powder snow as well as the exciting city nightlife of this great destination. You can also relax in an onsen after an intense journey!
Only 2 hours away from Sapporo, there are a lot of accessible ski areas, like Niseko, Kiroro, Sapporo International Ski Resort and Kamui Links. All of them have great powder snow!
For this 1-day trip we’ll choose the best area according to the snow and weather conditions of the previous day.
Besides, you can choose between a whole journey of backcountry skiing (full hike up the mountains) or combine it with a lift access for some off piste skiing.
We can also arrange multi day trips to other destinations like Mount Asahidake (2,291 m), the highest mountain in Hokkaido. Fine and light powder snow makes this place a paradise for skiers. We can go up by gondola to Sugatami Station (1,600 m) and easily access the alpine terrains to ski.
After an overload of fun in the snow, we will have the chance to take a dip in a hot spring (onsen). Then, we can go out for the evening in Sapporo.
Please contact me if you are interested in this activity. It will be great to go searching for untracked lines in the place with the world’s best powder snow!

Jun is a responsible and reliable guide. He is also knowledgeable on the local flora and fauna and managed to show us quite a few interesting alpine flowers, birds and animals. He is kind and helpful and converses well in English. I will not hesitate to recommend him to any anyone needing an English speaking guide in Japan.

Just back from Hakuba –Japan and I’m so pleased to confirm we got such a great experience with Iwao who has provided a service above all expectations. Indeed assisting a family confronted to a new environment requires a certain level of patience and attention and all the family appreciated his sense of responsibilities and seriousness which allowed us to really enjoy this region by experiencing touring, hicking and of course skiing in immaculate powder. Iwao was very discreet but always acted to ensure we could take the best of all Hakuba mountains could offer to us during these 5 days.This experience will for sure remain in all our minds for long and this will be mainly thanks to Iwao ! Best, Arnaud

We had a wonderfull ski touring trip with Iwao in Gunma. Iwao brought us in various beautifull landscapes to found very good spring snow. He is a very professional guide that can adapt to clients will and conditions! We had great time sharing our experiences about nature and mountains. The second day, we had a long tour with beautiful views on gunma\'s region and finissing along a river in an amazing forest. It was great fun to wait the last train in the midel of nowhere at sunset to come back to our village! Iwao has perfectly organised the trip bringing me to nice local onsen, restaurant and hôtel! Wonderfull trip to recommand!
