Furano Guiding
Advanced resort guiding and backcountry days across central Hokkaido.
Central Hokkaido holds some of the driest, deepest snow in the country, and our Furano guides are out in it all season — across Furano Resort, Tomamu, Kamui and into Daisetsuzan National Park. Guiding here is for advanced riders and up; we’ll match your group to the right terrain for the day’s conditions.
Guiding areas
*Official Tomamu partner. Guiding in Furano is for advanced riders and up — we don’t run beginner lessons here. **Daisetsuzan National Park and Asahidake are covered in the backcountry section further down this page.
Furano, Tomamu & Kamui
A local guide gets you onto the right terrain for the day — sheltered trees when it’s blowing, open faces when it’s clear, and the lines that don’t show up on a piste map.
Central Hokkaido’s driest snow
Furano sits inland, away from the coast, and the snow shows it. Your guide tracks the storm cycle and picks the aspects holding the best of it, so your group spends the day on fresh snow rather than looking for it.
Beyond the resort boundary
For committed backcountry days in Daisetsuzan National Park and around Asahidake, see our dedicated backcountry guiding page.
Good to know
*Beacon, shovel and probe are required for every guided backcountry day and can be rented from us at a discounted rate. Objectives run on conditions — your guide reads terrain and avalanche conditions day by day and will change the plan to match.
Asahidake & Daisetsuzan NP
Ropeway access into vast, quiet touring terrain across Hokkaido’s largest national park.
For advanced riders
This terrain is committing and remote — solid off-piste ability and fitness required.
Safety kit available to rent
Beacon, shovel and probe are required for every guided backcountry day — rent them from us at a discounted rate.
