Once on Camp
-
Our tours are targeted at the adventurous traveller - those who want to step out of their comfort zone, push their limits and experience everything Japan has to offer. Our camps are a place for like-minded individuals to connect and get hyped in a supportive and fun environment.
-
Hokkaido is famous for its huge quantities of snowfall each year - it’s why we love it here! However, with this often comes snowy, cloudy, sometimes windy and low visibility conditions. With this in mind, our experienced guides keep a close eye on the weather and snow conditions and know the best spots to go on any given day. We are confident that they’ll find an appropriate place for you and your crew each day of the camp. In fact, the ever changing weather means you’ll have a variety of conditions to shoot in, allowing you to capture pictures unique to Hokkaido.
-
Our camps are unique experiences with accommodation to match. You’ll be staying in quirky cabins that immediately feel like a home away from home.
Our accommodation’s are all located in tranquil settings, so offer the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of pushing your limits in the elements. Although you’ll be staying off the beaten track, we will ensure there is transportation into the hassle and bussle for meals and socialising when you desire.
Most rooms are twin share, so if you’re travelling solo you’ll be paired with another guest.
-
Every camp is unique and offers something slightly different. What is guaranteed on each camp is a day jam packed with visiting epic locations to capture the perfect shot, unwinding in traditional Japanese onsens and dining at authentic restaurants.
After you’re booking has been confirmed, we will send through a detailed itinerary to help get you hyped in the lead up to your adventure.
