Description

Let me invite you for a wonderful morning or afternoon to explore one of my favorite snowboarding areas in Japan: Hokkaido. This stunning island is one of Japan’s best areas for skiing and snowboarding on perfect powder snow. And what better way to explore it than with a snowboarding expert? I am a Freeride World Tour snowboarder ranked 1st in Japan and 5th in the world and I would love to show you the best spots of this incredible winter paradise.

For this private trip, I can guide you at the level that suits you best. There are tons of lines in the area and I can accommodate the itinerary to your needs. Nonetheless, due to weather conditions and snow accumulation, I may need to change the planned itinerary. But that won’t change the goal of having an unforgettable day.

Because it is only a half-day adventure, you will have time to continue exploring the area after the tour with your newly acquired tips. I also offer excursions in the afternoon. Furthermore, I can also point you to the best restaurants and hot springs in the area.

If you like snowboarding, you’ll love this adventure. Book your trip now and I’ll take you with me to the less crowded areas and give you some tips along the way!

I can also take you on a private half-day snowboarding trip to Hakuba. Check it out here.

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.
