Overview

Ski deep powder by day, soak in hot springs by night — and round it all off with a dash of Tokyo energy.
Welcome to our Japan Ski Adventure. A 14-day journey through the heart of Hokkaido’s winter wonderland. With legendary snowfall, varied terrain, and rich cultural experiences off the slopes, this isn’t your typical ski vacation. It’s cat-skiing, steaming bowls of ramen, and pristine runs in resorts you’ve probably never heard of, but will never forget.

Whether you’re here for the powder or the izakayas (or both), this is Japan the Mountains By Nature way.
