Are you looking for a summer outdoor activity in Hokkaido? Join me for a 1-day rock climbing course and get started on this exciting sport!
I propose a rock climbing itinerary for beginners at Seigankyo, near Asahikawa, in Central Hokkaido.
We'll meet in Sapporo at 7.30 am. After a quick stop by a convenience store to buy snacks and lunch on the way, we'll drive to Seigankyo (2 hours). The crag is very easy to approach, only 3 minutes away.
Once there, I'll give you a brief on the trip. We'll climb in the morning and in the afternoon. After the climb finishes (around 5 pm), I can take you to an Onsen.
It will be top rope climbing for beginners or someone who just want to experience climbing. I'll do some instructional session as well, covering topics like tying knots, how to belay, how to climb and advice on climbing techniques.
Are you ready for a new challenge? Contact me for this 1-day rock climbing trip for beginners in Hokkaido. I'll be happy to be introduce you to this amazing sport.
If you have more experience as a rock climber, you may want to join our advanced multi-pitch climbing trip in Akaiwa Otaru**.**

Mountain Guide
JMGA Mountain Guide
I was born in Kitami city in east Hokkaido. I grew up loving outdoor sports, skiing, and mountain climbing. I now lives in Sapporo and I have been a guide for the last 15 years.
I have accumulated vast experience in mountaineering in both Japan and abroad. I have served on the Canadian Ski Patrol and I have a wealth of experience skiing, rock climbing, and mountain climbing all over the world including Europe, North America, and Nepal.
I pride myself on my skill and experience rock climbing during the summer and backcountry skiing in the winter months. I have climbed Mt. McKinley in the U.S., Mt. Manaslu and Mt. Ama-Dablam, in Nepal, The Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Chamonix, in Europe and Insubong in Korea.
Please contact me if you want to experience Japan walking, climbing or skiing! I will be very happy to guide you here.

Yasuko is a very experienced guide. We spent two days with her and thoroughly enjoyed our time. She suggested tours based on our experience level and the weather conditions (one day was extremely stormy, yet she still found a place where we could ski). Both days, we were making fresh tracks :) Highly recommend!

Yasuko was great, very experienced, calm and patient with snowboarders. The weather wasn’t on our side but Yasuko found some areas and cut fresh tracks for us all day. Thanks again.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
