An authentic experience in central Hokkaido

This tour is perfect for those looking to enjoy an authentic Japanese ski or snowboard experience. It’s great for those who want to have a relaxing time in the uncrowded resorts, and also for those who love backcountry touring and getting into bigger, beautiful mountains. Let us know your style!

The mountains of central Hokkaido (including Furano, Asahidake, Tokachidake, and more) are higher and colder than Niseko. Of course, the prime powder season of December - February is epic, but we can also find great snow in March and even into late April! Explore local restaurants, and onsen, with many resorts and backcountry options to ski and ride. Tours based in Furano and Asahikawa are available.

We’ll organize it all. Just show up at the airport and we’ll take care of the rest to make sure you have the best experience!

Evan has thoughtfully constructed Kazan Japan Travel. The way in which he and his team curated the most incredible experience, blew us all away. The food and the hot laps on any of the ski areas were second to none. While no one can predict Mother Nature, this was submersion deeper than the snow. A ski and cultural mind blower.
