Backcountry ski and snowboard guiding in Niseko Hokkaido, Japan since 2003. BDT offers the best backcountry tours from single day to multi-day trips.
Black Diamond Tours was started in 1998 with a single guide based out of the Black Diamond Lodge. This quickly grew with the demand to include a roster of world class guides offering lift assisted powder hunting, backcountry tours, and multi-day trips. Meanwhile, the legend of Hokkaido’s powder spread to the world. This pushed us to expand our operation to offer heli, cat, and snowmobiling in private zones for the best powder skiing and snowboarding in Northern Japan.
Now, 18 years later our passion for outdoor adventures is still at the core of Black Diamond Tours. From guided day trips to multi-day Hokkaido tours, mechanized tours, booking accommodations, we create the best guided backcountry tours for any budget.
BDT is also offering summer trips around Hokkaido including: mountain biking, hiking, wakeboarding, and more.
BDT is an IFMGA /AMGA supervised backcountry operation and an affiliate member of HeliCat Canada.
