Would you like to add a little bit of city & cultural experience onto your Asahidake snow holidays? Asahikawa is the second bigggest city in Hokkaido!
All Asahidake guests must transit through Asahikawa anyway. So, you can easily add a couple of nights onto your Asahidake stay.
But, we know that for most of our guests getting the best snow is their no.1 priority! If the snow forecast looks epic when you are booked to stay in Asahikawa you can still do a day trip to Kamui Ski Links (40 minutes) or Asahidake (60 minutes). Just change your plan and go skiing/boarding!!
There are so many places you can go visit and enjoy in Asahikawa! I have made a few suggestions below.
