So don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to explore this snowy paradise in the company of a freeride world tour professional snowboarder.
Join me, on this fantastic half-day snowboarding adventure. And let me share with you the places I generally choose to practice my craft.
I am ranked 1st in Japan and 5th in the world. In order to have accomplished that ranking I needed constant practice in a challenging, yet fun place. Thus, my choice of Hakuba for this snowboarding trip.
Even though I would gladly share with you all my secrets and give you tips and pointers all throughout our journey, I am not a tour guide, nor I am an instructor. Therefore, instead of focusing on teaching and guiding, we’ll put the emphasis on truly enjoying this magical place.
Hakuba is perfect for winter sports. But it also hosts exquisite restaurants and fun bars. So even after our snowboarding day is over, you will find many options to keep the fun going. What’s more, I recommend to try the onsens, traditional japanese hotsprings, the perfect way to relax after a full day of adventurous descents.
If you want to join me on this snowboarding half-day adventure, please send me a request. I would love to ride with you across some of the most mesmerizing sceneries in Japan.

For the 2018-2019 winter season, I will be based in Niseko for the first half of January, then from mid January until April I will be in Hakuba Valley. Grand Hirafu in Niseko, the Hakuba Valley and Zao Onsen in Yamagata are among my favorite resorts in Japan. I've also skied a lot in Whistler (BC, Canada) and The Remarkables in New Zealand.
I can have everyday conversations in English and am happy to ride with both skiers and snowboarders. I would just love to spend some fun time with people who love to ride!

I booked 2 days with Wakana and she has been a really great guide! Absolutely no regret! Wakana knows very well Hokkaido overall and will make sure to bring you to the best areas outside the slopes whether you’re a skier or snowboarder. She has been very flexible onto the organization, adjusting the tour to go to the best spots to find good snow. We were originally thinking to spend the 2 days in the Furano area but ended up going to Kamui the second day where there was finally more powder. Most importantly, she’s also a very nice person to spend time with. I definitely recommend her!

Amazing day out with Wakana, full day of deep powder and fresh lines, found all the best spots from first lift to last, she made sure we had a great time. Really fun, highly recommend.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
