Tomamu Explorer

  • 7 days/6 nights

  • Private or mixed group tour

  • Backcountry focused

  • Progression and Advanced tours available for all levels of skiing

A true backcountry ski trip, the Tomamu explorer allows skiers and splitboarders alike to enjoy an uninterrupted 7 days/ 6 nights in some of the last remaining untouched wilderness of Hokkaido. Daily riding missions will be based around capitalising on the consistently cold dry snow littered around the surrounding hills of Tomamu and the northern Hidaka range. 

We spend a day or two at the fantastic Tomamu Resort and sidecountry areas if the powder is right. If the resort is tracked out, we explore some of the incredible backcountry area in the surrounding ranges.

Contact us for the full itinerary and availability.


Tour Grading

No you don’t have to be a Skimo athlete to jump in on this tour, nor do we expect you to arrive with a rope and harness in tow. To join one of our Tomamu Explorer tours you should be an advanced to expert downhill rider, meaning comfortable riding everything in and around your local ski resort. You should have some experience in the backcountry, ideally 10+ days of ski touring on routes that gain more than 800 metres of vertical per day.

If you are unsure about your own abilities, feel free to contact us to discuss your options


Spent a whole week with Murray from ABG exploring the Tomamu region. Love the area and clearly these guys all spend a lot of time sussing out the best areas for whatever the weather throws. Original owner John is clearly passing his best secrets on! Can’t recommend enough and will be back.

Thanks to Tim for the fantastic trip – we all agree that this was the best of our trips with you to Japan. The conditions were outstanding, the terrain magnificent and the company excellent – not to mention the food and the general ambiance. Thanks to all again – until next time
