Trip Overview

Our Ski+Culture Experience Japan 2026 will be a mix of riding deep Japanese powder and seeing the real, local culture. Kick the trip off with a weekend in Tokyo for two nights hitting Tokyo's must‑see spots and food stalls, then five days shredding waist‑deep powder in the Myoko region, which receives on average 15 meters of snow per year.

We keep it small and social — just 7 guests + 3 crew — so you'll make friends fast and never feel like you're on a bus tour.

It's designed for advanced skiers and boarders who want more than laps: expect riding with locals, full immersion into Japanese culture, and memories that last leave you wanting to come back next year for more.
