white isle niseko snowmobile park

Picked us up at our hotel and drop us off in the woods below Hanozono where we jumped on a snow mobile and ventured out into the snow covered fields and woods. it was so much fun and Leo, our guide was great. It was snowing the whole time but the bike was warm and we had a blast. A hot chocolate stop in the forest topped off an exciting adventure.They drop you back to Hirafu when it is over.

All eight of us had so much fun reliving our youth though most are above 50s and we enjoyed every moments of this adrenalin pumping ride across the country side filled with puffy snow. There is photo shoot opportunity. We took the 1 hour ride , two sharing a snow mobile. Single cost Y1000 more but as the other just want to enjoy the ride without committing to managing the snow mobile, we shared. There are 2 plan so decide first when booking as they do not allow changes which I find unreasonable since there are 8 of us and I believe they could if they tried. The other option include 30 minutes of ride and 30 minutes of other fun. Check their website for details. yes, I will certainly ride with them again. But if I find another company with new snow mobile I will go there as the machines are kind of old and after a while, very heated around the calf.

We were there in Dec 2014 just at the time when the "winter typhoon" hit. Marvin (who attended to our reservation) was very accomodating and helped us reschedule our session to another morning (even tho they were fully booked). Being the first group out there has its advantages: you get to see how pristine the landscape is after a night of snow. Halfway thru, you take a break to enjoy a cup of hot choc and with the engines off, you can really appreciate the serenity of the Niseko fields.Worth every penny!Note: there are a couple of ways to get to White Isle from the Niseko snow resorts but I strongly recommend taking the route through Kutchan (ie Hwy 343). We came from Niseko Village and the GPS routed us via the mountain road (ie Hwy 58) and after 40 mins of driving, we came face to face with a massive pile of snow blocking the road. No choice but to backtrack. The road to Kutchan is regularly clear of snow.

After initial instruction you follow your guide through a track leading through wooded hills (very pretty) and end up in a very large field and allowed to tear around and race each other in fresh untracked snow for a while then continue on over hills and through shutes then track back again. Lots of fun and a thrilling ride. A little expensive bur well worth it.

Great fun but can be very cold! Add a little more clothing than usual as if going skiing an extra -5 deg colder as it was snowing when we went and out on the open fields it I suite exposed

It's our first snowmobile experience with kids. Tour guide was attentive and friendly. With the fresh powder and vast area, it was beautiful and unforgettable experience. Bring thick jackets as it could get real cold after awhile (sitting on snowmobile vs moving around).

We booked the 60 minute snowmobile ride but there was a confusion and we ended doing the 60 min snowmobile and snow play, which we did not really mind as everything was great fun. HIghly recommended for anyone..young or old.There was a complimentary pickup from our hotel so we did not have to worry about finding our way to there. In case you need to rent jackets or pants or boots, it's also available but selections are of course limited.

If you are like me and the as a first time skier the experience has been less exciting this snowmobiling rose will make up for everything!

Arriving at the end of ski season in mid April we asked about other options. It was still snowing and the slopes had plenty of powder, metres deep and no crowds. We're so glad our concierge at J-Sekka suggested this option to go snowmobiling and play on the snow. These guys offered free transfer, even though we had a car. They were worried it was inconvenient for us to find. We chose the separate snowmobiles each option so we could both drive one, were supplied with all the gear and had a safety briefing. The drive through this area is beautiful with lots of hills and forests to navigate. The guide was careful and slow where we needed reassurance and gave us a bit of freedom once we had more confidence with steering the heavy snowmobiles. It was good fun once you got the hang of it and we stopped by a nice dam waterfall for photos.Then we stopped at a clearing for playtime! Most incredible view of Mt Yotei (which looks like Mt Fuji) while drinking a yummy hot chocolate they had pre-prepared in thermos for us.Banana boating on the snow was absolutely the most fun I have had in years. We hooted and howled with laughter and the guide seemed to enjoy teasing us more and more as he towed us along quickly and performed stunts behind the snowmobile. This is brilliant fun! We also did some tubing down the snow track specially prepared for this. That was also great fun. When we tired ourselves out from all the snow play, we headed back on the snowmobiles.So much fun! Would highly recommend this for a great afternoon of laughter and great scenery.Thanks to our great, super helpful and polite guides.

After self driving to the snowmobile farm we were given a warm welcome by Chibu and his assistant, issued with appropriate clothing and taken out to the machines. We learnt how to use the machine in a controlled area before setting off on a trail. The trail is on a farm so is not extreme but still fun. Stopped along the way and alovely hot drink was supplied.After arriving back to base we were allowed some time on the machines around a track. Great fun. the guides were brilliant, took our photos and advised on getting to our next destination. Can throughly recommend

Hanazono Snowmobiles took us through this wonderful park. Yes, not exactly challenging, but fun all the same. Did the 90 min tour, out to a powder field to fang around on, then back via some bowl areas to do some figure 8's and hill climbs. Loads of fun, with a very patient and polite tour guide

Great scenery. Not the adventurous trail we were hoping for.Great day i think for those who are just wanting a little fun.

What a great way to end our trip after skiing. The guides were friendly and we had a most spectacular ride scenery was excellent and going over pure snow was fantastic. Would recommend for the more adventurous.

Exhilarating, beautiful and loads of fun. You get it all. Trickier drives through forests, full speed big sliding turns in open fields, beautiful views and amazing scenery and untrodden landscape. I did the 90 minute 'Great View' course.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. As a younger guy, I was expecting a tame/lame experience where they wouldn't let you go too fast or too far. We got just the opposite! We bought the 90 min scenic tour and went for miles and miles through forests and fields. Our guides were great and let us go as fast as we wanted. The main guide spoke great English. The views were amazing. I was glad our hotel recommended this company.
