Overall great day at Kamui.
Day started with guide going to the wrong hotel, wasting 15-20mins
Trip to Kamui included stop for drinks/toilet, approx 1hr drive from Furano
Once arriving, guide provided instruction of avalanche gear and packs including use of beacon in search mode.
After purchasing a lift ticket Y5300 we took gondola to the top and rode down to assess our ability.
Then it was back up the gondola in into the back country of the back of Kamui.
First run started on fresh powder in the open and concluded in the trees before skinning up and hiking out.
Second run was down the opposite side from the antenna tower down to a cat track, which we hiked back along to the piste and concluded our day through the trees on the side country.
Overall great day, but would of liked a third run in the back country.
Guide was great, well equipped, experienced and knowledgeable
Group consisted of 3x skiers, 1x snowboard plus guide on skis.

We had a great time on our two lift-assisted side- and back-country guided days with Whiteroom Guides, February 3 and 5, 2026, one day at Kiroro and one day at Furano. Both of our Whiteroom guides were very good. Both were serious but fun/interesting/engaging people, excellent skiers, knowledgeable re: the terrain and conditions, knowledgeable and mindful about safety, and tailored their guiding to our level of skiing. We skied off-piste with our guides virtually the whole time both days, using the pistes only to get to lifts or the base as necessary.

Greg and Jesa of Whiteroom took our groups preference and skills perfectly into account and brought us into the fold of decision making which wound up getting us to incredible snow during our time with them.

We totally scored thanks to them! They had routes for a few of the crew who wanted to huck themselves off some cliffs and mellower options for those of us that like cruisy pow turns.

Best crew, best snow!! Thanks Whiteroom!

Great day out the back of Tomanu with Owen.

Only slightly reluctant to post the review as it would be a shame if too many powderhounds go to this great little area!

We had an amazing day exploring the back country with our guide in Furano. Chris, our guide, totally met our expectations in terms of showing us fresh lines to ski, all with breathtaking views. We did a combination of lift assisted lines and touring which was just right for our group. Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable about the area and what to ski best on our day with him. Thanks Chris for a great day!

We’ve been to Furano various times and have explored many parts of the mountain and the backcountry, but we tend to keep going back to our fave zones. Having a guide just took the fun factor up multiple notches. There had been no fresh snow overnight, but the upper lifts had been closed the previous day, so there was plenty of fresh powder on offer. We started with a couple of traditional sidecountry lines and then staying ahead of the pack, the guide took us to a few lines that didn’t feel familiar. The terrain was fantastic and the snow was superb – it was Hokkaido skiing at its finest. Our guide was also rather entertaining! The experience reinforced that having a guide at Furano can be incredibly beneficial.

Whiteroom have been guiding in the area for a long time and it was easy to see why they have an excellent reputation and are booked out well in advance.

Having a great guide is usually highly beneficial to finding the great stashes, but considering our timing, a guide was critical to us having an absolutely epic time in the powder. It was early season (between Xmas & New Years) in a really lean season, and the off-piste at most of the Central Hokkaido ski areas was pretty rank due to an abundance of leg catching bamboo. However our WRTs guide knew that Asahidake would be the best spot for powder hunting that day due to his knowledge of the weather patterns, its high elevation, and subsequent lack of bamboo.

Our guide Ross was also worth his weight in gold because Asahidake is an amazing powder gem, but only if you know it intimately. We’ve been to Asahidake multiple times, but still don’t know all the amazing zones or the exact best spot to push out. Thanks to Ross, we skied divine deep powder on some nice steep pitches. That night back in Furano, others were incredibly envious because they’d spent the day getting bamboozled elsewhere.

Thanks again WhiteRoom for a fantastic day of powder skiing and plenty of fun banter.

We had a great experience with Ian at Whiteroom Tours. He took us to two different zones in the same area, per our request that we follow the best snow. They were big days - we had requested a challenge and he definitely delivered! We learned a lot about the region, as well as the snowpack, and covered a ton of ground. Ian was very knowledgable and a great companion. He gave us a lot of information that allowed us to successfully explore on our own for the rest of our trip.

Yuko, Whiteroom Tours Guest Services Supervisor & Travel Consultant, was incredibly helpful with our booking, as well as other aspects of our trip. She was extremely communicative and helped us book other accommodations that required Japanese.

We would love to book through Whiteroom again on our next trip, to learn about other areas, and to have the assistance that they provided with so many aspects of our trip.

All the stars aligned for us to have the most epic day at Sahoro Resort with WhiteRoom, whereby we skied fresh powder all day long and didn't have to pull the skins out once or walk more than about 50 metres!

Firstly, Puki the Yuki goddess was blessing Sahoro with some powdery goodness so the snow was as fresh as it gets. Secondly, nearly all the guests staying at Club Med and the Sahoro Resort Hotel stayed on-piste, just like we'd asked them to, so the powder in the trees was all ours for the taking! And of course, the tree skiing in the off-piste and side-country zones at Sahoro is a lot of fun.

And last but not least, we had Ross as a guide who took us to so many fabulous stashes. He's an old hand at guiding in Hokkaido and managing snow safety, and it showed in his knowledge of the ski area and ability to sniff out the powder along with his approach to safety. Ross is also a very affable guy; the sort of guy you could banter with for hours and hours, which just added to the experience of the great day.

We also did a few runs with another very competent guide GB (G-Banger) and his group who were on a Central Hokkaido Explorer multi-resort tour.

Thanks WhiteRoom for a fantastic day of powder skiing.

We had a sidecountry day at Furano followed by a daytrip to Asahidake with Whiteroom Tours lead by Sam. The tour was very professionally managed and every effort was made to maintain high standards of safety as well as finding good terrain and snow. The guides arrived on time and we felt we got the most out of the day. Highly recommended.
