If you’re in Furano you have to try snow shoeing with Ikki!

5.00What a stunning experience! My wife & had a tour with Ikki on the perfect day, heavy snowfall and silent woods. Trekking through untouched snow in the national park outside Furano was definitely the highlight of my 2 weeks through Hokkaido. Thank you so much Ikki! We definitely want to get back and do some cross country snowboarding with you 😊
Nice activity

5.00I enjoyed this activity. It was magical to be able to walk on 3 feet of snow. It was not too tiring or taxing and just the right length to make us feel like we had a good experience hiking. Anyone, irrespective of fitness level, can do this activity. The Onsen experience at the end of the hike was good. I appreciated the ability to visit a Fukiage onsen that I would have found it difficult to reach without a car. Ikki-san very kindly picked me up and dropped me back to my accomodation which was much appreciated! He even organised coffee and hot chocolate.
Great experience

5.00I booked this experience while travelling solo. There were three other solo travellers and we quickly got to know each other; the atmosphere was very nice. Ikki is a very pleasant guide and you can tell he knows the park like the back of his hand! I highly recommend it.

5.00We had a magical day snowshoeing with Ikki. It was a true winter wonderland. The outdoor onsen was best way to end that perfect day. Ikki went above and beyond what we expected. We highly recommend this tour for anyone in the Furano area.
Snowshoeing through such beautiful winter landscapes felt incredibly unique

5.00We had an amazing snowshoeing tour in Daisetsuzan National Park — easily one of the highlights of our trip. The scenery was absolutely picturesque, with pristine snow and stunning mountain views in every direction. Ikki was a fantastic guide — patient, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout, making the whole experience feel safe and relaxed. Snowshoeing through such beautiful winter landscapes felt incredibly unique — and soaking in an onsen afterward was the perfect way to warm up and unwind. Highly recommend!
Great snowshoe

5.00Iki was fantastic guide very accommodating 70+ seniors we had great time in the snow no rush even more time for snowshoeing 1 km only
Great experience among the trees and powder snow

5.00This is a brilliant way to take a break from the skiing at Furano and experience the feather light untouched snow amongst the stillness of a pine and birch forest. Ikki is very friendly and obliging and is a great guide. We spent an hour or so snowshoeing at an easy pace, with Ikki stopping every now and then to take photos of us or explain aspects of the national park and the plant/animal life within it. Warming up in the onsen at the end (there are multiple attractive indoor and outdoor baths) was a very pleasant end to a great day!
Beautiful scenery, relaxing onsen

5.00Furano -Greenjourney- offers snowshoeing tours for small groups. Ikki is the driver and guide. He picked us up in Furano and took us to a national park where we snowshoed for about an hour through the most amazingly fluffy snow. The sun was out and the scenery was spectacular. There’s even an active volcano puffing smoke a few km away. Ikki would walk a few minutes then stop for a tour moment ( the smell of crushed pine needles, a coffee break, …), so there is no worry about it being too strenuous. After the snowshoeing, we had about an hour to enjoy a nearby onsen with waters heated by the volcano. All in all, highly recommend this. Photo is Ikki near the onsen. If I’m able to attach 2 photos, second one is our group out on the trail.
Beautiful day trip
