Hokkaido averages 15 meters of snow per year, do I need to explain more? This explorer course includes 10 full days riding. There are many resorts besides the infamous Niseko hidden all over the central belt of the region. This course will let you experience all that Japan has to offer. Deep, dry and ultra light powder and a cultural experience you’ll want to repeat again and again.
Accommodation
We will be staying B+B in modern hotels during the trip. Half of the trip will be based in the town of Furano, the other in the city of Asahikawa. This allows us to experience many resorts without having to travel too far each day. for evening meals the choice is yours. Eating out is the norm in Japan so whether it’s sushi, ramen, curries or even a western meal, the choice is yours.
Logistics
Flights should be scheduled to Chitose airport. From here we arrange transfer to Furano and then once there we have our own vehicle to use for the duration of the course. This gives us plenty of flexibility on a daily basis as to where we choose to ride. After finishing the final days riding, we will return back to Chitose in the evening to fly out, although you may choose to stay on or venture elsewhere.
