A low-key, fun-filled event in the heart of Hokkaido, the Snow Endurance Festival is a great day out for all ages!
Whether you’re a reluctant snow first-timer or a powderhound with a competitive streak, outdoor enthusiasts of all abilities are welcome!
Trade the skis and boards for snowshoes, running shoes, or a fat bike to experience Hokkaido like never before.
Slow or swift, moving yourself through snow is sure to get your muscles burning and heart racing!
The distances may sound short until you’re pushing through the snow – and there’s lots of it in the heart of Hokkaido!
