Trade Sapporo streets for snowy forest trails, a hearty lunch, and Koganeyu Onsen on a small-group snowshoe trip led by Chris.
“Chris was a wonderful guide who made sure we had a wondeful day in the mountains of Hokkaido. We had an incredible snowshoeing experience and ended the day with a wonderful hansun over looking a beautiful lake in a beautiful setting. Chris made the day special.”
Ride from Sapporo to Kokusai Ski Resort and Hoheikyo Onsen for autumn color or winter snow, with private transport and flexible timing.
“This was an amazing trip! We followed the set itinerary, and saw many beautiful sites. The driver was super polite and a great driver (we always felt super safe). The company also provided a booster seat for my six year old and a baby seat for my two year old, and everything was strapped in and ready to go when the tour started. Just a great job!”
Review of Sapporo’s private Jozankei Onsen tour, with snowshoeing, mountain views, shrine stops, luxury transport, and a two-hour hot spring visit.
“Had a great day with Tomo hiking the snow and visiting the Onsen, some beautiful views and sitting in the hot spring water whilst it snows is a must do experience. Tomo was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. Make surw to ask to visit the ice cream shop on the way home its a treat. Highly reccomend.”
Explore Hokkaido’s quiet forests, mountain views, wildlife, and a local onsen on a six-hour guided hike from Sapporo.

He then brought me to an onsen that was equally nice, not overly crowded even though it was a weekend, and plenty of locals enjoying themselves (i.e. not a tourist trap).”
