What people are saying about Daisuke

Max

I’ve skied with many guides in many countries, and few offer as high a level of service as Daisuke. Not only did he locate good snow in tough conditions, but he secured equipment for us, helped us plan other adventures on our trip, and was an overall nice and humble person. He also carried my wife’s skis when we got close to the summit… but don’t tell her I shared this info! Thanks again Daisuke.

Andrea

Amazing experience with Daisuke! He ensured we found great snow to ski and amazing scenery around the area. This was truly one of the best experiences skiing in Japan!

Daniel

I would have given the trip rating also 5 stars, it was just unlucky that this year was still quite low on snow, so we had to fight our way through bushes to find a couple of good spots. Not Daisuke's fault though, he made the best out of what was there. Big recommendation for him!

Reto

Daisuke is a very experienced, friendly and pleasant guide. Unfortunately, we didn't get the best snow conditions, but of course that's not the guide's fault. When we return, we will of course approach Daisuke again.

our experience with Daisuke was outstanding. He knows very well the island and he managed to take us every day in places with fresh snow without tracks :-).
