Description
Central Hokkaido is one of Japan’s top areas for powder snow skiing and snowboarding and a popular destination for those looking to JAPOW. It is definitely one of my favorite places for snowboarding and I would love to show you all the untouched and uncrowded spots.
I am a Freeride World Tour snowboarder ranked 1st in Japan and 5th in the world 2018 and I would love to spend a fun day (or days) with you in this incredible winter paradise.
For this private trip, I can guide you at the level that suits you best. There are many routes in the area and I can accommodate the itinerary to your needs. Nonetheless, due to weather conditions and snow accumulation, the itinerary could vary. However, that won’t change our unforgettably fun day.
Additionally, Hokkaido also offers plenty of options for relaxing and exploring after an exciting snowboarding day. It is full of cozy and trendy restaurants and hot springs that I can point you to.
So hire me for a day (or more) and I’ll show you the best lines in Japan and give you some tips to improve your snowboarding.

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.
