In order to allow our citizens to discover the appeal of the Vasaloppet Japan, one of the country’s largest cross-country ski competitions that is held in Asahikawa, a beginner’s seminar will be organized for foreign nationals residing in Asahikawa.   
After receiving instruction on use of equipment and fundamental ski technique, participants will test out the “Kitaisaito Leisure Ski Course” that was newly created this year.  
Following the activities, Vasaloppet Japan will provide participants with the Swedish specialty “Blueberry Soup”, which can be enjoyed while mingling with other seminar participants.
