Step into Edo-period Japan at Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura with samurai homes, ninja shows, theater, games, and an easy day pass.
“Went there for a day trip after visiting Noboribetsu's hot springs. Well constructed village that let you experience the culture during Japan's Edo period! Big praise to their theatre shows. Definitely worth a visit if you're near the area!”

Snowshoe through Noboribetsu’s powder snow and snow monsters with guide Aidan, enjoying ridge views of Mt. Yotei and Lake Toya.
“I cannot recommend this tour enough! The entire experience was truly magical. The weather was absolutely perfect, making the snowshoe trek even more enjoyable. Our guide was beyond amazing – not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable time. He surprised us with delicious homemade cookies and a sourdough bread sandwich lovingly made by his wife, which added such a personal touch.

As if that wasn’t enough, he took professional-quality photos of us along the way, capturing memories we’ll…”

Snowshoe through Hokkaido’s quiet forests to frozen Lake Tachibana, with gear, pickup, a guide, and a hot drink included.
“Aidan was a fantastic guide, shared lots of interesting things along the way (animal tracks, plants etc) and matched my pace during the climb. It was like hiking with a mate, chill and low pressure. Aidan lent me gaiters, neck scarf and the snowshoes. I recommend bringing a scarf and warm enough gloves because your nose will run and your hands will freeze. Aside from that I had thin warm layers for both top and bottom, and that worked fine. Make sure you wear waterproof (coat, trousers, and shoes) too, and a light backpack to hold everything else. One thing I would do different is choose to go in the…”
