Multi-day Backcountry Tours are our true specialty at Black Diamond Tours – our experience and insights offer guests a unique experience like no other. Unlike most operators, we do not lock into a concrete itinerary and will make every effort to adjust your trip based on changing weather conditions, our knowledge, and your input. The itineraries included below lay out an initial plan but, your guide will offer additional options daily based on current conditions. With our 15 years of experience in Hokkaido, we not only know our mountains inside and out, we also know what weather works best for each zone we visit and how best to understanding the snow forecasts. Combining this with the network of information our guides bring back from the field every day ensures you will enjoy the best possible conditions throughout your Japan Trip. These trips not only allow you to visit locations commonly unknown to tourists, they also allow you to experience Japan with a local expert who can show you the best Onsens, introduce you to local cuisine, and of course make finding powder easy.

If you are traveling on your own or in a small group we recommend joining one of our scheduled group trips; we will connect you with a like-minded crew of skiers and riders to share the experience. Or, if you are coming with a group, we can offer any of our Japan Ski Packages privately, on the dates you choose and customize the trip upon request. Either way, please see below to get an idea of itineraries, pricing, etc. then drop us a line and we will get to work putting together your unforgettable Japan Ski Package.
