Experience Snowboarding in Hokkaido.
Snowboarding isn't just about gliding down slopes anymore. It's about riding through fluffy, cloud-like fresh powder, where you move not just left and right, but up and down, creating a three-dimensional sensation unlike anything else. These conditions aren't available all season long, they're exclusive to certain times and places.
A journey through fluffy snow in Hokkaido.
Plan your trip carefully, choosing the right time and the right slopes to chase after fresh powder in Hokkaido. It's an experience unique to the harsh winter conditions, so it's essential to have the right gear; otherwise, even if you stumble upon pristine powder, you won't be able to enjoy it for long. Gathering information is key, with thorough preparation, you can truly savor the ultimate sensation. We invite you to experience this unique feeling that only snowboarding, not skiing, can offer.
Fluffy Snow, Italian Cuisine, Wine, Hot Springs...
From the crack of dawn, lining up at the lifts just before the slopes open, and carving through untouched powder. When the slopes get tracked out, enjoy a leisurely lunch, and if the conditions are acceptable, hit the slopes again in the afternoon. After a day of riding, chill out in the onsen, then have beautiful dinner featuring Hokkaido's abundant ingredients paired with fine wine. The icy-cold Chardonnay will be paerfectly matched. Executives from overseas, drawn by the allure of powder, delight in experiencing Hokkaido in this manner.
