TAKASU City near Asahikawa, Hokkaido, JAPAN
Our Style
We have two sessions a day, morning and afternoon . At each session we take only one reserved group. This can be from two to eight persons. Only your group will be here for that session so you have our undivided attention. We take from two to four persons on each trail trip. There is time for us to make two trail trips in one session because the instruction happens for the whole group at the same time.
Example In a group of four, one person is riding the dogsled, two are riding in a passenger sled pulled by the snowmobile ahead of the dogsled team, and one is a passenger on the snowmobile. We rotate positions as each rider travels their portion of the trail. The persons riding in the passenger sled are facing backward, so they can observe and photograph the rider.
Our Wooden Dog Sled
Traditional hand-crafted (by Daniel) wooden designs- but with re-designed joints to provide incredible flexibility. Improves sled handling from a "truck" to a "sports car". Makes first time riding not merely possible but easy and fun.
Our Dogsledding trail
7 km return, flat but with lots of curves. 3.5km return,
Trails are compacted and graded after every snowfall to provide a fast and safe course.
Our Passenger Sled
Example in a group of four, one person is riding the dogsled, three are riding in a passenger sled pulled by the snowmobile ahead of the dogsled team. We rotate positions as each rider travels their portion of the trail. The persons riding in the passenger sled are facing backward, so they can observe and photograph the rider.
Our instruction Room
