Enjoy the exhilarating experience of skiing down a winter mountain in just a short amount of time!
Our family of four went to Hokkaido for the first time during the New Year holidays. In addition to the food, beer, and sightseeing, we made a reservation in advance because we wanted to have an experience that is unique to this place. Even though it was our first time, we were given a thorough lecture, and our family of four went skiing down the snowy winter mountains. The exhilarating experience of running through the silent snowy winter mountains is a different kind of thrill than skiing! Unlike skiing, you don't ski down the slopes, you enter the snowy mountains. (Even in snowy mountains, there are designated paths that are properly maintained for skiing, so you can feel safe!) Also, the cheerful instructor who led us was always considerate of our family, and he adjusted his pace to suit us! During the one break in the middle of the course, we were able to experience the winter mountains with all our senses, something that you can't experience in the city. It seemed to be very popular with foreign tourists from various countries. In particular, the snowmobile experience, which takes only 2 to 3 hours round trip to the city, is also an attractive way for tourists to use their time effectively! In our case, we had breakfast at the hotel ⇒ got picked up by a shared bus ⇒ enjoyed ourselves to the fullest ⇒ returned to Sapporo city at noon for lunch ⇒ went on other sightseeing in the afternoon, which was a perfect day. I highly recommend it! It was great! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
I enjoyed the dynamic course with my girlfriend.
On December 23, 2017, I experienced the dynamic course with my girlfriend. On the day, we rented a car from downtown Sapporo and used the car navigation system. The location was easy to find, so even beginners who drive on snowy roads could get there safely. When we arrived, we saw a stylish log house. That was the reception, so we went there, told our name, and paid in advance. After paying, a staff member brought us snowwear and helmets, so we put on the snowwear over our clothes. *You can participate empty-handed, but I brought gloves with me. *You must wear a helmet. You cannot hold your phone camera or video while driving, so if you want to use an action camera such as a GoPro, I recommend attaching it to your helmet with a head mount. We were guided to the snowmobile, learned how to use the brakes and accelerator, and immediately practiced on the course in the facility. After about 15 minutes of driving, we got used to it. My girlfriend was driving alone without any problems. When we entered the forest road, the instructor took the lead. When we were able to pick up speed on a straight stretch, it was exhilarating to open up the throttle. We reached the peak smoothly without any problems. Since we had reached the peak smoothly, the instructor arranged for us to climb another mountain. It was a 60-minute course, but we were able to climb two mountains and it was a very enjoyable memory. Unfortunately, there was a lack of snow and some parts of the road were in bad condition, so I would like to visit again when there is more snow.

It was fun♪ Snowmobiling
I experienced snowmobiling with him for the first time. Because it was Hokkaido, the snow quality was good, and it felt great to ride through the forest course in the mountains. It seems to be popular with foreigners, so we were the only Japanese participants, but each group was assigned an instructor, so it was reassuring. He gave us detailed instructions and was good at guiding us. It was a fun 60 minutes that went by in a flash, and I'm very satisfied! Also, thank you for accommodating our sudden schedule change. This time we made a reservation using the Hokkaido discount, and it also came with a regional coupon, so it was a good deal♪ (This review has been machine translated) -

Dynamic course, the best!!!
My daughter, son and I participated in the dynamic course. We decided to go to Hokkaido this time because six years ago, the three of us went snowmobiling together, and my son, who had gotten his license, said he wanted to go again. We went to a different place six years ago, but this one took longer and was a more authentic course, so all three of us were very satisfied! The instructor was a friendly, handsome guy (?), and we had a really fun and wonderful time. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Your best memory of Hokkaido
Since we were going to Hokkaido, I booked this experience course with my colleagues to try something we normally can't do. I thought it was a little pricey, but it was helpful that we could go empty-handed and they provided transportation. We rode around the mountains on snowmobiles, and the two-hour course ended in a flash. The staff were very kind, and it became the best memory of this trip.

A valuable experience!!
My girlfriend and I took part in the 60-minute snowmobile course. The instructor was very polite and kind, and although she couldn't turn properly at first, she was able to ride well by the end. It was a very valuable experience for us and more than worth the price. They took us to the hotel by bus and rented clothing etc for free, so it was easy to enjoy! After the experience, I thought I'd have some free time until the bus arrived, but I jumped into the snow in my rental clothing and played around, and time flew by! If I go to Hokkaido again, I'd definitely go there again! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Snowmobiling for the first time
On March 19th, I tried snowmobiling with my boyfriend for the first time! First, the guide carefully taught us how to ride and explained things to be careful about in an easy-to-understand way. After practicing on a flat road and making sure it was okay, we entered the actual mountain path. As a woman, I needed a little strength to steer the snowmobile, but as I gradually got used to it, I didn't feel that anymore and was able to ride with a great feeling! Unfortunately, it was foggy on the day, so we couldn't encounter any animals, but we stopped here and there to take photos and showed us the nests dug by woodpeckers, which was fun. The guide ran in front and we followed behind him, but he was considerate of us, adjusted our speed, and gave us instructions with gestures, so we were able to ride with peace of mind from start to finish. I would like to try it again next year! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
First snowmobile experience
I experienced the dynamic course with my mother on my first trip to Hokkaido. Since we went to Hokkaido in winter, I wanted to do something to enjoy the snow, so I participated. Also, since it was the New Year holidays, most of the tourist attractions were closed, but this place was open, which was a blessing. It was my first time riding a snowmobile, and my mother in her 50s was reluctant, saying, "It's scary. I'll wait for you, so you go by yourself. I prefer riding with an instructor." However, I thought, "It's cold to wait alone in the hut, so let's try it since we came all the way here." So we experienced the dynamic course. While riding, all my nerves were focused on the engine in my right thumb, and my arm hurt from moving the heavy handlebars, and the toes on the non-engine side were so cold that I lost feeling, but once I got used to it, it was fun to move smoothly even on quite a lot of ups and downs. When we returned to the hut after the experience, my mother, who had been reluctant before the ride, said, "It was fun. Just when I was getting used to it, it was over. I wanted to go a little higher. I want to do it again." I was surprised to hear this unexpected comment. Even after returning from the trip, he was bragging to his family and colleagues, so I'm really glad I took him. Since we were on the same bus as the people on the 2-hour course, we had to wait a little in the hut after the experience, but it didn't feel too bad because they were considerate and guided the people on the 2-hour course earlier and allowed us to take our time with the experience. However, I would have liked them to provide hot drinks and have a wider variety of hot menu items in the vending machines. I also wish the toilets were a little cleaner and easier to use. Also, during the experience, the instructor said, "If there's a spot you want to take a photo at, please let us know and we'll stop," but I was so busy steering that I didn't have time to call out, so it would have been easier to take photos if he had stopped at various photo spots. On the way back, we were dropped off at a major station so we could head straight for sightseeing. They were happy, and it was a memorable experience to experience something that is rarely available. I would like to use it again the next time I travel to Hokkaido. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Mobile experience for a 100-year-old
We participated as a couple. We are over 110 years old together. We were blessed with the weather, which we were worried about, and had a fun experience. The instructor was about the same age as our son, but he guided us carefully and made operating the snowmobile, which we were not used to, fun. We climbed the forest road and the view of the city from an altitude of 600m was exceptional. It was a great memory. We would like to try to celebrate our 120th birthday together. Next time, we hope to encounter some small animals. Thank you to everyone who helped us. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Dynamic course 1 hour!
Three guys participated on December 12th! We originally signed up for the 120-minute adventure course, but due to a lack of snow it was changed to a 60-minute course. But it was still a lot of fun! We were able to ride freely on our own bikes, so we were very satisfied! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Get hooked on snowmobiling
We participated as a couple. It was the first time for both of us to ride a snowmobile. We desperately tried to keep up with the instructor, wondering if we would be able to handle the steep slopes and hairpin curves as beginners. Halfway through, it became more and more fun, and we even wanted to ride more. Maybe we'll go again in February or March. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
First time snowmobiling on snowy mountains
I participated with my family on December 29th last year. I was nervous at first. The staff were all kind and it was warm and very comfortable that day. The snowy mountains are the best. The commemorative photos are also great memories. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Snowmobiling experience
In February, I took an elderly couple who are turning 70 to try snowmobiling. The guide was very kind and gave us lots of instruction, so it was a really fun experience. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
The kids were thrilled with the snowmobiles!
We are a Japanese-French family, but this was our first time experiencing snowmobile riding, which is something you can't do in France. The children were accompanied by an instructor, so it was safe. In the pure white snowy scenery, we didn't even feel the cold, and we enjoyed ourselves for a few hours, like a getaway scene in a spy movie. This is a must-do program on our next trip to Hokkaido!

Snowmobiling is the best
In February, I experienced 120 minutes of snowmobiling. I did it with three friends, and it was so much fun that I paid extra to do another hour. Next time I go to Hokkaido, I'll definitely do it again. The weather was good, the instructor was great, and we had a great 120 minutes. Thank you very much.

Snowmobile first experience
It was our first time snowmobiling, and we were blessed with relatively good weather as we comfortably climbed the forest course to the top of the mountain. Two staff members accompanied the two participants, who kept a close eye on our safety, and we were able to enjoy the course safely even though it was our first time. Since it was a 90-minute course, after the forest course, we were able to speed up a bit in a wider area and relax and enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, the participation fee was not cheap, so we can't say we'd do it again without hesitation. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Feeling younger?
Three men over 40 tried snowmobiling. On the day, you put on the gear over the clothes you wore. Don't worry about the cold. After 10 minutes of training on how to operate the snowmobile, we set off. It's hard to go fast at first, but as you get used to it and speed up, you hit the snow bumps and feel a big shock on your body. The 120 minutes went by in a flash. We took pictures at every point, and sent the pictures of myself riding the snowmobile to my wife (from her cell phone), and in her reply she said, "Do you feel younger?" I guess I was back to my childhood. I recommend this for men. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
It's the best!
We tried out the dynamic course as a family. My 4-year-old son rode with my husband. His impression was, "It was awesome!!" Unfortunately, the weather was snowing and the views weren't that great, but the feeling of racing (?) down a snowy road was a great feeling that you can't get anywhere else! It actually used a lot of muscles, so my arms were sore the next day (^_^;) I want to do it again! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
It was so much fun!
On February 9th, two guys went on a 120-minute course. First, they picked us up at the hotel in a nice minibus, and after stopping at a few hotels along the way, we arrived at the site in 30-40 minutes, where we were greeted by a line of about 20 staff members. They provide free clothing, but we brought our own snowboard wear and boots, so we changed into them, received a simple explanation of how to operate the board, and then we set off. We set off as a group of four, including two staff members. First, we practiced turning on a flat surface, and then the 120-minute course was It was more thrilling than I expected, going to the top of the mountain, going through fresh snow, running on slopes, and running right next to cliffs. If you don't shift your weight properly, you'll flip over, so it was fun because it was difficult. When I flipped over, everyone helped me up. The speed is also pretty fast, and it's so scary that I can't run at full speed. ^_^ I flipped over about four times (lol) I've experienced jet skis and various other vehicles, but snowmobiles are deep and really fun. For those who took the 60-minute and 90-minute courses, we went back together in a minibus, so we waited for them. When we left on the bus at the end, all the staff were waving at us♪( ´θ｀)ノ. It was a touching experience. ^_^ I recommend the 120-minute course. Next time, I'll come again next year or the year after with a 2-hour morning course, Genghis Khan for lunch, and a 2-hour afternoon course. I'll ask them to make a special plan like this. ^_^ (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Awesome!!
We went up and down mountain paths, saw beautiful scenery, listened to the birds, and enjoyed the great outdoors! There were some thrilling spots along the way, and it seems to be especially popular with girls☆ It was a special experience to enjoy Hokkaido in winter♪ Thank you to all the guides! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Thank you guide!
It was a very satisfying 90 minutes! I was worried that I might die if I fell as I ran right next to the cliff, but with our kind guide leading the way, even a beginner like me was able to enjoy the forest course without any worries. I was worried about the cold as I went in my everyday clothes, but the rental clothing and boots were plenty warm. The view from higher than the Mt. Moiwa Observatory was amazing. We'll all go again, so please look forward to it!!! (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Snowmobile experience
During my first snowmobile experience, I was able to experience the amazing beauty of nature. It was fun to play in the snow, and the things the guide told me were interesting! It was a rare experience that I couldn't experience often, and I had a fulfilling time. I chose the 120-minute course because I had the chance, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Going down the slope, going up and down the curves... Everything was a little thrilling and a fun memory♪ The only thing that was a little disappointing was that even though the temperature was low and they sold warmers, there was no advice that we should wear them. On the way back, the guide asked me, "Didn't they tell you?" but I had no choice but to bear it. Also, on the way back from the shuttle bus, seats were not reserved for us. Our luggage was on the seat, so we were told to sit in the auxiliary seat. We could have taken our luggage off and sat down, but they didn't even call out to us. I wish they had kept a close eye on the number of people so that everyone could sit in a seat. (This review has been machine translated into English) -
First snowmobile experience
I went on a solo trip to Sapporo. On the second day, I tried snowmobiling for the first time! Since I was alone with the instructor, I went at high speed and it felt great. This time, I took the 90-minute course. But the time flew by. I definitely recommend the 120-minute course! I wanted to ride forever~ Just as the concept "Luxurious snow play for adults" It was great. They lend you everything, so you can go empty-handed and in your everyday clothes. They provide everything, from ski wear to boots to gloves. I went there without thinking about anything, so I was moved by how beautiful the snow scenery was. It's so quiet in the snow. If you go to Sapporo, please try snowmobiling. It's the ultimate northern vacation. I forgot to ask the instructor's name, but thank you very much! Thanks to him, it was fun.

I made some great memories!!
Three beginner girls took part in the dynamic course. We were very grateful to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel in the city. It was our first time, so we were a bit nervous, but we were given a thorough explanation and were able to ride safely and enjoyably. The hour went by in a flash. If we have another opportunity to visit Sapporo, we would definitely like to participate. (This review has been machine translated into English)
