Beyond the slopes — snowmobiles, dog-sleds, snow rafting, snowshoeing and drift-ice walking.
Open-meadow snowmobile rides at Lake Toya, Rusutsu and Furano — minutes from family hotels, suitable for first-timers.
Husky teams run quiet forest tracks at Tomamu, Lake Shikotsu and the Tokachi plain.
A rubber raft towed at speed across deep snow — the loudest, funniest activity in a ski-week.
Inflatable banana towed across resort snow fields. Pure giggling.
Lift-served tube runs at every major Hokkaido resort. Good first contact with snow for small children.
Hotel-side sled hills at most resorts, with rentals included. The cheapest morning of the week.
Guided snowshoe walks in Daisetsuzan, around Lake Shikotsu and in the Niseko birch woods. Quiet, soft, deeply Hokkaido.
Wakasagi (smelt) ice fishing on Lake Akan, Lake Shikaribetsu and Lake Barato. Tent rentals, a heater, and a frypan — the catch is eaten on the spot.
The Sea of Okhotsk freezes — and you can walk on it in a dry suit. Abashiri and Shiretoko are the two access points. February is the right window.
Hokkaido is the southernmost place on Earth where pack ice forms naturally. Drift-ice tourism only exists here.
Travelling with non-skiing family members? They can join snow activities while others ski, and we can plan the day around mobility needs — accessibility depends on each activity and operator, so we check before confirming.
