Hey there!
I’m Aidan, the owner and guide of Nobo Tours!
Originally from Wales, UK, I moved to Hokkaido back in 2018 and have grown to love this island. Since my time here I have explored many areas of Hokkaido while hiking and camping. This area of Noboribetsu is particularly special as everything is only a short drive away. From world-renowned hot springs, pristine lakes to epic mountains, this area ticks every box for those looking for an adventure!
Come and join a tour and explore the real Hokkaido!
M2025-02-16 I did the beginner snowshoeing tour on a snowy February morning. The forest was pure white, and it felt like being in another world! Aidan was a great tour guide, and really good company. I named him the 'Bear Grylls of Hokkaido', as he made a little seat out of snow for us to enjoy some hot chocolate and homemade cookies. The time went so quickly. I would love to return someday and do a longer hike. It was a great memory. Thanks Aidan! Viin2025-02-14 I had my first snowshoeing experience with Nobo Tours, and I absolutely loved it! Aidan was an amazing guide, sharing his knowledge and experience about the winter landscape and the activity itself. It made the whole adventure so enjoyable and rewarding. I’ll definitely be coming back next time!" Katy Brink2025-02-12 Snow shoeing with Aidan was one of the highlights of our trip. He knew exactly where to go to give us a magical day and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. Highly recommend for getting away from the onsen crowds and experiencing the most beautiful parts of the area. LionAU2025-02-03 My wife and I completed the beginner hiking tour with Aidan. We really enjoyed it. Aidan is a great guide who goes beyond and above to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience. We really enjoyed the tailored experience, such as pacing the tour based on our fitness level. Thank you again. We hope to be able to book further tours with our family added next time.

The scenery was like nothing we’ve ever seen before and was a definite highlight of our trip. Aidan was a terrific guide and helped us keep pace to reach the top. It was an incredible view and worth the time and effort. Thanks! Kaitlin Ann Lim2025-01-21 Had the best of time snowshoeing at Orofure Pass, and touring around Muroran with Aidan ❤️ very accommodating and knowledgeable. Thank you! Elizabeth Mah2025-01-17 My mother and I had an amazing time with Aidan on the Orofure Pass Snowshoeing Tour yesterday. He was very flexible and understanding when we made our booking, even though I made arrangements last minute. It was our first time snowshoeing, and he taught us many tricks to navigate the snowy terrain. The scenery during the trek was breathtaking, and we had a small picnic of homemade sandwiches and hot chocolate at the top. Definitely recommend if you're interested in nature tours and want to do something besides onsen. Annabelle X2025-01-15 We had the most beautiful day out with Aidan! We had a custom tour and did a lot of sightseeing around Lake Toya, Sobetsu, Muroran and Noboribetsu. He was so knowledgeable about the area, attentive, flexible and friendly ☺️ Definitely recommended if you want to make the most of your time at Noboribetsu. Very memorable and full of local gems. If you are coming in the winter *Pleaseeeee* make sure you are prepared for wind and cold weather and appropriate (waterproof) footwear for snow! You will be able to enjoy the sights much more comfortably ☺️
