2-Day Tour: Snowshoeing, Ice Fishing & Furano
Make the most of your trip to Hokkaido on a private 2-Day tour with us at HNT! We’ll start the tour with a 3 hour drive to the Mt. Tokachidake area of Daisetsuzan N.P - Hokkaido’s deadliest volcano. The two beginner to intermediate level snowshoeing trails lead to steaming sulfur fumaroles and above the tree line, respectively. After snowshoeing, you can choose to dip at the nearby Fukiage Wild Onsen - set in the dense forest - or at the local onsen establishment, with indoor, outdoor, & mixed baths. We’ll spend the rest of the day in Furano visiting gourmet sites, the Ningle Terrace Artisan Village & the small Kan Kan Mura Ice Village. We’ll also have dinner in Furano before checking into a 3/4 star hotel for the night.
Day 2 can start with a DIY food making workshop of your choice, followed by an hour-long guided snowmobiling ride or snow play activities such as tubing, snow rafting & more. In the afternoon, we’ll drive to Lake Kanayama for ice fishing. The lake is ringed by mountains and offers great scenery for ice fishing, where you’ll be provided with a tent, gear & instruction. Any fish you catch will be prepared on-the-spot into a fresh & tasty snack. From here it’s just over 2 hours back to Sapporo, for drop-off at a location of your choice. Join us for an unforgettable private 2-day tour which will be the highlight of your time in Hokkaido!

Our Guiding Policy
Paramount for HNT tours is the safety and well-being of our clients. Our extensive experience in the mountains of Hokkaido and internationally gives us a profound respect for the powers of nature, and we will not hesitate to alter a trip if we encounter adverse weather conditions. All scheduled plans in the itinerary are subject to change according to safety conditions. Your safety is truly our top-priority.
Disclaimer
We take great care in creating fantastic tours for our guests which are custom-made to match their preferences. We will endeavor to follow the itinerary to the greatest possible extent. However, if changes to an itinerary must be made due to weather conditions, guest safety concerns or unexpected delays during a tour, HNT is not responsible if aspects of a tour cannot be achieved. If aspects of a tour are missed due to reasons beyond the guest’s control (such as weather related, unannounced closures, etc.), a refund will be provided for any missed activities, not including any cancellation fees imposed by hotels, operators or others.
Deposit & Cancellation Policy
A minimum 50% deposit must be received in order to confirm your tour with us at HNT. Any cancellations by any participants made prior to 30 days before the start of a tour are eligible for a 50% deposit refund (e.g. appx. 25% of the total tour price). Any cancellations by any participants made within & including 30 days before the start of a tour are not eligible for a deposit refund. Remainder payments can be settled in advance of the tour (2 weeks prior preferred) OR in cash (yen only) upon pick-up on Day 1 of the tour. Please note that tour cancellations made due to government mandated travel bans on/by Japan vis-a-vis the guest’s Country of Residence will be eligible for more lenient refund policies (please inquire for details).
Covid-related Tour Policy
With the unpredictability of travel due to the Coronavirus, we understand the need for greater flexibility while planning your trip to Hokkaido. As such, we are offering free tour postponements for any tours affected by international or domestic travel restrictions which restrict access to Hokkaido. If that means we need to cancel and/or re-book activities and/or accommodations, or redesign your custom-made itinerary to better match updated travel dates, we will do so free-of-charge. You can be assured that your tour deposit with us is safe, and we will await your arrival to Hokkaido for whenever conditions allow.
