Lessons / Guiding / Backcountry Touring

Rhythm Japan offers lessons, guiding and backcountry touring, to help you discover the most “powdery” spots! They are already sold out until pretty much January so please book ASAP via this link to avoid disappointment. 

Heli Skiing

Heli Skiing in Japan is one of the best ways to experience the deep powder and open runs found in Hokkaido. Hokkaido Backcountry Club runs daily Heli Skiing trips from Niseko to the 1,107 metre Shiribetsu-Dake volcano in the beautiful town of Kimobetsu, famous for fresh powder lines and steep ridges covered in a beautiful birch forest.

All helicopter packages include professional guiding and safety instructions, along with snow safety equipment, including backpack, avalanche beacon, and probe. We also provide complimentary transport services from local accommodations.Please book directly with Hokkaido Backcountry Club here and mention you are with The Ski Week in the comments.

Cat Skiing

Hokkaido Backcountry Club also offers day cat skiing which will allow you to experience Japan’s Powder away from the resort without the work of long touring days.
