Furano
Furano has some of the best quality snow in Hokkaido all season long. With terrain to suit all abilities from long wide groomers to great tree skiing. From the resort you have spectacular views up the valley lined by the mountains in Daisetsuzan National Park (meaning great snowy mountains) on a clear day. Furano delivers an authentic Japanese countryside town experience with restaurants/bars owned and enjoyed by the locals. Furano is where Whiteroom began so it’s a favourite on our must ski or ride list.
Tomamu
Boasting 29 fantastic groomed runs for beginners to experts set among the beautiful trees and mountains. Tomamu also offers skiers and boarders an awesome park and off-piste section which is roped off from the rest of the crowd. Coupled with a 50 metre wave pool plus indoor/outdoor onsen and an array of quality restaurants, Tomamu really strikes a cord with everyone who visits. An extremely user and family friendly resort.
Kamui Ski Links
One of Hokkaido’s best ski areas, located just outside Asahikawa and 1hour from Furano. Kamui offers beautiful long wide groomers perfect for all abilities, along with great off piste areas from intermediate to advanced. Combined with very little crowds, great snow and lots of blue bird weather days, there is something here for everyone.
Sahoro
Located in a similar direction and time frame as Tomamu from Furano, Sahoro feels like your private ski resort on most days. With long groomed trails for all abilities and some lovely gladed tree areas, Sahoro is the perfect area to improve your technique while experiencing another of Central Hokkaido’s quality resorts.

When booking this service you are getting:
- Your own qualified and experienced instructor. This means you can have one person or up to four in the group. The fee remains the same so the more people you have the cheaper per person it becomes.
- Base area accommodation pick-up and drop-off and transportation to the ski area. Usually you will have private transportation, but if we have another group heading to the same ski are that day you may need to share. We don’t want to add any more carbon than necessary to the atmosphere.
- Note: extra charges may apply for transportation from areas outside of Furano.
Extra transportation charges
Furano area (outside of Furano and immediate surrounds) requires approximately one hour extra travel – client pays ¥10,000 extra. For example picking up in Nakafurano and taking to Tomamu).
Things to remember:
- This is a private booking. You will only have those in the group that you yourself have booked. If it’s you and your three friends then that’s who’s in the group. If it is just you then awesome. You book and we instruct – no blow-ins.
- Mixing skiers and snowboarders – Not something we do for private lessons. Whilst some of our instructors are qualified for both it is not possible to deliver a professional instructional lesson with a mixture of skiers and snowboarders
- Our private lessons are that and not a Whiteroom Guided day. If your desire is to access terrain outside the resort boundaries into uncontrolled terrain you need to alternatively book a Whiteroom Guided day with one of our professionally accredited Whiteroom Guides.
