WINTERSPORT JAPAN 2024

Let us show you all the best Japan has to offer. Get your shot of Japanese powder, soak in an onsen, enjoy delicious cuisine and world famous sake, and experience the craziness of Tokyo.

In short
With our powder package we show you all the reasons why we fell in love with Japan. Let us welcome you to the lodge with an amazing dinner made by our in house chef. During your days on snow, your private ski or snowboard guides will take you to the best resort, considering conditions and your riding ability. You will see different resorts and enjoy the Japanese snow to the fullest.  A selection of the resorts you could ride: Madarao, Nozawa Onsen, Lotte Arai, Myoko Kogen and Shiga kogen. Or what about the less known Kijimadaira, Kurohime and Togari onsen. Wherever we go, we  take you to our favorite lunch spots, onsens (natural hot springs) and local restaurants. In Tokyo, our guide will take you around the main sights in Tokyo.
