Skeleton Riding Experience in Fu’s Snow Area

Experience the thrill of skeleton riding in Fu’s Snow Area, located south of Sapporo City. This exhilarating winter activity requires ski wear, ski gloves, and snow trekking shoes or boots. Helmets are provided free of charge, and if you don’t have your own ski wear set, you can rent everything for a fee.

There are only two skeleton and luge courses in Japan, with the other one located in Nagano Prefecture known as ‘Spiral’. The course at Fu’s Snow Area spans approximately 1,000 meters with an elevation difference of 100.4 meters, tailored for this unique experience event. This opportunity is exclusive to Fu’s Snow Area and Nagano, offering a one-of-a-kind adventure not found elsewhere in Japan.
