Inter Island Explorer Tour

FULLY GUIDED & HOSTED RESORT & BACKCOUNTRY POWDER TOUR

Buckle up! This epic tour has you road tripping for 14 days from Morioka up to Aomori, over the Tsugaru Strait toward Otaru, before finishing up in Central Hokkaido. This road trip is one for the books and will offer everything a powder hunter will want out of a trip to Japan.

This is the ultimate Japan Ski Tour – Powder, Culture & Adventure all in one!

For those of you starting in Morioka, each day you’ll head out to any of the 5 resorts in the region, Appi, Shizukuishi, Hachimantai, Tazawako and Geto Kogen. At night your guides will take you out for delicious local food and the vibrant nightlife of Morioka.

Your next 3 nights are spent just below the epic Hakkoda mountain in a lovely onsen hotel. Known for it’s snow monsters and expansive backcountry Hakkoda is a once in a lifetime ski experience.  We will also head over to Aomori Springs, a lesser known resort with some fun powder filled terrain and epic tree skiing. This untapped region is renowned for a mix of the new and old world and loads of untracked powder!

After an enchanting 7 nights in Tohoku, you’ll jump on a ferry across the Tsugaru Strait to Hakodate, to explore the seafood markets and quaint European style Japanese town.

From Hakodate you’ll transfer onwards to the powder capital of Hokkaido, Otaru, for two nights and the deepest snow of your lives at Kiroro, Kokusai or Teine. Staying in Otaru city you’ll explore the old European canals, enjoy local beer or visit the Yoichi Whiskey Distillery and eat some of the freshest sashimi in all of Hokkaido.

The last leg of the tour sees you visit Central Hokkaido, where you’ll spend the remaining 4 nights in Furano at North Country Inn. With over 16 years of experience operating in the region, we have the area well and truly mapped out and know where to go to find the goods on any given day. You’ll have the opportunity of skiing or riding on Hokkaido’s highest peak Asahidake, as well as exploring the resorts and backcountry of Furano, Kamui, Tomamu, Sahoro and Pippu.
