Let me take you explore some of the best backcountry snowboarding areas of Hokkaido with this Asahikawa guided splitboarding tours.
Japan is known for having some of the best powder in the world. Being an island, it receives the cold wind currents from Siberia that get mixed with the humid air from the Pacific Ocean and make the perfect snow storms that cover its mountains with dry powder.
Asahikawa is located in the northernmost island of the country, Hokkaido. It lies northeast of Sapporo, the biggest city in the island. This amazing snowboarding area is one of the last places that remains devoid of crowds and tourists. So it’s the perfect spot to go looking for amazing powder slopes!
There are endless splitboarding and ski touring options to choose from.
There are some nice ski resorts in the area, like Kamui, Asahidake, Furano, Kurodake and Tokachi-dake, where we’ll go climbing in search of your perfect run.
I can guide you there for one or several days, and I promise you will never get enough of this fantastic winter paradise.
Does such an adventure sound interesting? Then please send me a request to book this Asahikawa guided splitboarding tour and let’s plan your next snowboarding adventure.

Please note that my Transportation Expense for this programme is JPY 22,000 which I will need to ask the guests to cover.
Renting ski equipment in Japan is not easy but I can try to do it for you. I will need you to give me the model and the size of the DYNASTAR boots that fit your feet.
