resort: tours
Our tours cater for skiers who like adventure and the opportunity to explore beyond the horizon. Each of the areas we choose have special attractions that allow our participants to enjoy at their own pace or with the tour escort. With this in mind, the majority of our tours are also suited to those who want to ski the lifts and get maximum vertical on these powdery slopes.

With the exception of the Tokachi Mountains, all the places we visit have ski lifts or are resort based. You can join our small group fully escorted tours to enjoy the best of Hokkaido's unspoilt lifted ski runs. The added advantage in joining us is you can also step outside the boundaries with our leaders to explore the superb off piste that lies just beyond the resorts.

Our ski tours include the following Hokkaido ski resorts and ski areas:

Furano|Kamui|Asahi Dake|Sounkyo|Nukabira|Kitta Taisetsu

For information on each of these ski areas click on the links above.


Our tours are fully escorted with a bilingual leader throughout. This takes the worry out of your holiday and leaves you to enjoy the skiing to the maximum. As well as this you can be assured of our 28 years of experience in skiing and running ski tours to Hokkaido.

accommodation: western
We specialise in the Japan experience, in immersing ourselves in the local culture and enjoying the true spirit of travel and adventure. However, for those looking for western beds, we can arrange this in some locations if desired, although you may be in a different Inn to the rest of the group. Please contact us if you are interested in western style accommodation.

lift: tickets
We include lift tickets at Furano and Kamui. At the other resorts we access discount lift tickets though our accommodations and pass these discounts on to you. The reason we do not include lift tickets at the other resorts as many of our skiers will not use the lifts but will be touring in the back country powder. If you only wish to ski the lifts, contact us for these incredibly low rates. In some cases lift tickets are as low as 2500 yen per day (about $A25)!



tour: modules

Our full length tours give you the very best of Hokkaidos skiing. However, if you are looking to just ski in one or more of our ski locations then consider our module options. Click here to see the full range of resort tours and resort tour modules.
