    Asahidake, Biei & Toma Winter Tour

    Adventure Hokkaido Guides Tobaji, Richard & Ayaka had four day snowshoeing adventure in Asahidake, Biei and Toma last week. They were accompanied by a bunch of local guides, travel companies and the Hokkaido Transport Bureau. Snow hiking in the forests around Asahidake Onsen and Shirogane Onsen was a joy as always, and having the Toma Limestone Cave all to ourselves was a remarkable adventure!

    Around Daisetsuzan Cycling Tour

    We had two guests join us in August 2021 for a ride around Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan Mountains. The tour was led by guides Dai and Ayu with Richard also going along to get to know the roads. Here are our favourite photos from the trip.
