Kamikawa BacKcountry

219,000Yen / person based on a group of 5

Located in North central Hokkaido, the small town of Kamikawa is uniquely well positioned between 3 mountain passes and just a short 20 minute drive from the ropeway at Mount Kurodake. These 3 passes offer access to remote backcountry ski and snowboard terrain while the ropeway delivers you to the alpine of the Daisetsuzan range.

Lower elevation alternatives for inclement weather days include Pippu and Kamui ski links. Furano and Asahidake are a bit further away but remain within reach if conditions dictate.

This trip suited to advanced backcountry skiers or splitboarders and is best scheduled in February or March when the snowpack is more developed. Please also note that the Kurodake ropeway is typically not open in January.

Avalanche safety kit and ski touring or splitboarding equipment is required for all multi-day trips. Rental available – more info here.
