Tomamu offers a one-of-a-kind experience ride plan for snowboarders. It is the CAT (snowmobile) tour held in the Karifuridake area. Together with a guide who will take you to the best spots of the day, you will climb to places that can only be reached by snowmobile and make a first track in fresh powder. At the same time, it will also imprint a very extraordinary memory that will last a lifetime. Tours like this are rare.
If you're thinking, "I want to go," then this is the tour you should take. First, stay at a hotel in Tomamu. The Karifuridake area is about a 30-minute drive from there. It's a place of nature that you won't find at ski resorts. Fresh powder falls there, and there are open runs with no tracks. You can experience the thrill of tree running and feel the gravity at various angles as you make turns that utilize the natural terrain.
After about two hours of riding in the morning, you arrive at a large tent called a "yurt" that you wouldn't expect to find deep in the mountains. Once you take off your boots and take a breather in the spacious space, a special lunch is brought to you. Your tension will instantly melt away, and you will feel a difference in contrast that you have never felt before. This tour is both extravagant and challenging. That's why you can feel the real fun. It's a priceless experience.
