Winter in Hokkaido – Otaru Powder Guides

Winter in Hokkaido brings some of the lightest and driest snow in the world.

Our base in Yoichi gives us easy access to the mountains around Otaru, as well as the larger ski areas of Niseko and Rusutsu.

Through our sister company Otaru Powder Guides, we offer private ski and snowboard guiding including:

• Powder tours
  
  

• Intro to backcountry tours
  
  

• Resort and lift-accessed sidecountry guiding
  
  

• Private ski and snowboard lessons
  
  

We also operate Powder House Otaru, a private house available for short-term stays that is ideal for visiting skiers and snowboarders.
