Daiki Sakakibara

Daiki is a certified Japan Mountain Guide Association trekking guide stage II and ski guide stage I and guides mountain tours in Hokkaido during both summer and winter. He is a member of the Snow Damage Research Team and Avalanche Safety Seminar in Hokkaido.

In the summer season, he mainly hikes Daisetsuzan, Shiretoko, and some beautiful, lesser-known places around Sapporo and enjoy cycling in his free time. He also loves backcountry skiing, so he visits mountains near Asahikawa every month during the winter.

Daiki’s top priority is to ensure that many people can spend time safely in nature. He makes careful decisions on his tour with consideration for weather, for risk of avalanche and for participants’ physical conditions. But he doesn’t forget to search for good slopes for skiing.
