Magical hike through the Hokkaido winter landscape
SimonClemens_W, Mar 2024
Chris is the perfect host (knowledgeable, fun, friendly but not obnoxiously chatty) for a hike through the winter landscape of Hokkaido. The meeting point is very easy to reach even from central Sapporo, and the hike through the virtually untouched nature was an amazing experience! The onsen visit as a finish is ideal, the onsen itself and the view from the bath are absolutely stunning. I have visited a lot of onsen in Japan and this was definitively one of the very best. Cannot recommend this activity enough.

Thank you so much for the kind words and opportunity to experience a taste of the backcountry with you. I’m extremely happy you enjoyed your day with me.
A Snowshoeing Dream Come True
Christine_L, Feb 2024
This snowshoeing experience was amazing. Chris was a wonderful guide in providing tips about snowshoe safety and information about the different trails in the Jozankei area. The lunch spot was serene and peaceful, eating delicious curry and drinking hot cocoa. The stop at a local onsen afterward was the perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience an escape from the crowds to trek through the deep powdery snow that only Hokkaido can offer while traveling in Japan in the winter.

Chris was a great guide,...

Chris was a great guide, very friendly and personable, and knowledgeable about what to look out for during snowshoeing. He was also accommodating to my pace. We had a solid hike through a really lovely trail, and enjoyed a nice camping lunch and then an onsen trip to round it off. I had lots of fun and really enjoyed myself, thanks so much Chris!

It was a pleasure to take you on the trails and I’m happy you enjoyed the day. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and would be great to see you again if you’re in Hokkaido next time.
Snowy perfection
Kate_K, Dec 2023
What an incredible hike! Sadly, there wasn't enough snow for snowshoeing, but Chris was just as adept as a hike leader.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Unfortunately the snow gods didn’t provide enough snow for us to enjoy any snowshoeing, but thank you for your understanding and I truly hope you had a wonderful experience. Hope to see you again in Hokkaido!
