Hokkaido Guided Ski Tours & Snowboard Trips

Hokkaido ski tours and snowboard trips are ideal if you have skied some of the popular Hokkaido ski areas like Niseko and are looking to get away from the crowds and ski untracked powder snow all day without the stress of everyone else steeling your lines. A hosted and guided (or unguided) Hokkaido ski tour or snowboard tour could be just the thing for your next adventure.

Use the filters (to the left) to hone in on the perfect Hokkaido ski trip for you. Alternatively you can view our Hokkaido ski tours schedule for a summary of tours by date and an indication of tour availability.
