Day-Guiding FAQ’S
-
Our goal is to provide the best experience possible for you, so there is no set schedule. You have our local guide and transportation to use as you wish. If the snow is incredible, you’ll likely want to ski all day. If you’re sore from several days of skiing, maybe you’d like to have a slow start, take a few runs in the morning, and then venture to a hot spring deep in the mountains. Or go to a special sushi restaurant out of town? Be at the right place at the right time. This flexibility and freedom are unique to Kazan Japan Travel’s program.

We highly recommend having travel insurance that covers winter sports activities with a guide. If you plan on going into the backcountry (including out of the Niseko resort’s gate system) make sure your insurance covers this as well. For details on insurance and liability, please see our terms and conditions

All guests are required to have an avalanche safety kit (backpack, shovel, transceiver, probe) if going outside of the resort-managed areas. This includes outside of the Niseko resort’s gate system.
