Japan Guided Backcountry-Tokachidake Private Guiding
Tokachidake private guiding
The Daisetsuzan Range is composed of the highest peaks in Hokkaido that average 2,000 meters elevation with alpine and tree skiing. You will stay in a hot spring hotel which sits nestled at the southern end of Daisetsuzan National Park, an area famous for the backcountry skiing and the abundance of thermal hot-springs. The indigenous people of Hokkaido referred to this area as ‘Kamui Mintara,’ or the ‘Playground of the Gods.’ High precipitation amounts and low humidity levels produce some of the lightest and most dependable powder in the world.
Transfer to Furano which is on the doorstep of the Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan's largest national park.
Transfer across the valley and ski the Central peak. From here are spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and volcano. Watch the falling snow from the outdoor hot-spring on your return to the hotel. A traditional dinner follows.
If the weather allows we will ski the alpine, or if it is stormy stay we ski in the primeval forest where the snow is always deep. Finish in a natural forest hot spring reputed to have healing qualities.
Ski the local volcano after peering in the steaming caldera. The ski descent provides for 750 meters which can be lapped for more vertical.
Travel to the highest mountain in Hokkaido. See plumes of smoke billowing from it’s the volcanic vents. If weather allows, we can ski from the peak. If not, there is great side-country skiing accessible from the tram. Transfer to Furano to celebrate the last night.
Farewell and airport transfer.
