The "Hokkaido Powder Belt" is an area in the central part of Hokkaido that stretches about 200km from north to south where you can enjoy intense snowboarding under the best snow and location.
It is a general term for snow fields such as Tomamu, Furano, Kamui, Asahidake, and Kurodake located in the center of Hokkaido. It has an environment where you can fully enjoy the snowy mountains in winter, Satoyama, snow resorts, local ski resorts, and the town of Asahikawa, Hokkaido's second largest city.
In other words, where and how to enjoy in this area according to the conditions of the day?You can choose and act as you like.
A trip around the Hokkaido powder belt is sure to give you more excitement and joy than the many experiences you have had with snowboarding.
The FREERUN magazine has already been introducing its charm for three seasons, but on this page, Neil Hartman's special video content ``Hokkaido Powder Belt Asahikawa Edition'' is based on OMO3 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts and shows the Asahikawa area. I would like to tell you about a trip where you can fully enjoy the beautiful snow. After reading this page, please continue to watch the TOMAMU edition.
