Discover the Ultimate Hokkaido Powder Experience

Backcountry Ski Japan has been pioneering guided backcountry ski adventures in central Hokkaido since 1984 — with over 40 years of local experience in one of the world’s richest powder zones.

Whether you’re a seasoned backcountry skier or keen to take your next leap into untracked terrain, this is your gateway to Japan’s deepest, driest snow. Their signature areas include the majestic volcanic terrain of the Tokachi Mountains and Asahi Dake, where consistent light powder is the norm.

Why it stands out:

• Tailor-made tours for all levels — from resort/side-country to true wilderness backcountry.

• Highly qualified, avalanche-trained guides with decades of experience in the region.

• Rental gear and technical backup available, so you can focus on the skiing not the logistics.

• Base in the heart of central Hokkaido (including areas like Furano, Tomamu) with access to the deep powder belts.

What you’ll get:

• Pristine powder lines far from the crowds

• Bespoke routes based on snow conditions & skier ability

• A blend of backcountry adventure and Japanese hospitality (onsen, culture, remote settings)

• A highly memorable ski holiday — not just runs, but an exploration of Hokkaido’s wild side.
