Japan Tour

This year we are making a big change to our Japan tour, due to the increasing busyness of resort skiing in Japan we have found a newly setup cat skiing operation to work with as well as the renowned HBC cat skiing in Shimamaki and are offering 6 days cat skiing with 3 days resort side country skiing in our package for this year at almost the same cost.

This incredible trip offering you the best untouched Japow starts at Sapporo CTS airport where you will be picked up and taken to the town of Rankoshi staying in great accommodation in this classic Japanese town where you will get to experience true Japanese culture and food.

We will be based at Type Two Three’s lodges staying for 7 nights with 6 days skiing, 3 days will be cat skiing on their privately owned mountains with amazing terrain, this will be mixed with travelling to selected resorts for 3 days lift served guided side country skiing. Each day we will decide whether cat skiing or resort based on where the best snow is. You will dine in the evenings in the town of Rankoshi enjoying excellent Japanese cuisine.

On the February 8 we will change locations to the tiny fishing village of Shimamaki on the South West coast of Hokkaido. Here we will move into the family run Yansa residence overlooking the harbor and the Sea of Japan. Meeting our guides from Hokkaido Backcountry Club who will take us in to the Karibayama mountain range in a remote national park to cat ski for the next 3 days. This is largest cat skiing terrain in Japan. We will be the only group skiing the entire terrain.

We wrap up our tour travelling to the bright lights of Niseko where you have the option of an extra free ski day.

We have our final night celebrating the incredible cultural cuisine and ski experience with everyone before heading back to CTS airport with memories to last a life time.
