◇Tour around the 5th station of Mt. Asahidake, the highest peak in Hokkaido, Mt. Daisetsuzan (about 1,600m above sea level)

The attraction is to play in the snow to your heart’s content on the fluffy snow that remains until early May, and to explore the powerful “fumaroles” that can only be approached during the snowy season.
Unlike skiing, you can enjoy powder snow from a different perspective.

It’s good to enjoy skiing on your own and visit sightseeing spots, but
it’s also attractive to spend time with guides and businesses who know the Asahikawa heavy snowfall area well.
