As a local Japanese snowboard instructor based in Hokkaido, I’m passionate about sharing the incredible snow, breathtaking nature, and excitement of snowboarding that make this region so special—all while putting safety first.

For me, teaching is about more than helping you improve your riding skills. It’s about creating unforgettable experiences and memories that will stay with you long after your trip is over.

I look forward to sharing the beauty of Hokkaido with you and helping you enjoy an amazing day on the mountain.
