What is airboarding in Biei, where the world is bathed in silvery white?
Airboarding is an activity where you lie down on a rubber board inflated with air and slide down a snowy mountain like a sled.
There is no need to operate the board in any difficult way, so anyone can easily ride it.
Originally from Switzerland, this activity has been gaining popularity in Japan in recent years.
One of the reasons for its popularity is its speed!
Because you are on your stomach, you are closer to the ground, which makes it easier to feel the speed than if you were standing up.
It’s not just a sled, it’s also very maneuverable, which is why so many people are fascinated by it.
The bumps on the back of the board give you an edge, making it easy to turn left and right.
Now, let’s take a look at the snowmobile and airboarding experiences you can enjoy in Biei in more detail!

A board is a board, but surfing on snow in Biei?
If you are visiting Biei, besides snowboarding and airboarding, it is also recommended to participate in another types of “snowboarding” activities.
A snowboard called “Yuki-ita” is a snowboard carved out of a single piece of wood. The main difference between a snowboard and Yuki-ita snowboarding is that Yuki-ita snowboarding does not have any clamps for the feet, so you can stand on a single board and sashay down the fluffy powder snow for a thrilling experience!
At first glance, Yuki-ita snowboarding may seem difficult, but no matter how hard you fall, you can always fall (slide) as far as you want on the powder snow!
You can enjoy it just like sledding, so even if you have no experience in winter sports such as snowboarding, you will be able to enjoy it right away.
You can enjoy Yuki-ita snowboarding because of the fluffy powder snow in Biei. Of course, snowmobiling and air boarding are also available, but please try them out when you visit Biei.
