The guesthouses are built and decorated in a Western style, but with a touch of Japanese culture, and typically divided into 2-person rooms. The hosts are incredibly sweet and hospitable and provide breakfast and cleaning daily. You get a lot of value for money, and it’s an obvious choice when you spend the whole day invading the powder.

It is possible to upgrade to an apartment or hotel – please contact us if this is of interest.

We have basic package! But we always open for changes, add on or adjusting after your wishes. Below you will find the things which can be arranged:

• Fly t/r between home country and Japan (inkl. ski/snowboard transport)
• Lunch and dinner
• Rental ski/snowboard

• Japanese spa (Onsen)
• Upgrade of accommodation
• Extra guided trips (hike Mount Yotei, sidecountry, backcountry)
• Snow mobile

• Extra skiing/ snowboard days

Off piste skiing trips in Japan are primarily for the experienced skier / snowboarder, who manages varied terrain outside the piste (steep slopes, deep snow, narrow passages and between trees).
We have the opportunity to tailor every day to match the level of specific groups. This allows us to arrange trips for the skilled skier / snowboarder who wants to explore the terrain outside the piste or learn for the first time.
If you are interested in teaching on the piste, we refer to school lessons through our Skimundi booking platform.

It’s important to have the right gear when you want to go on this off piste trip in Japan! If you want to go on a trip like this, you need special equipment for the powder. It’s important to have the right clothing and avalanche equipment.

The ski runs require off-piste skiing and backcountry touring equipment, and snowboarding requires either split-boards or snow shoes (but we recommend split-boards as snow shoes make it difficult to follow skiers). We recommend having your own ski / snowboard equipment, but it is possible to rent at the destination.

Clothing

We will recommend you Shell jacket and pants (with snow skirt) and a good middle layer in between (merino wool is clearly recommended) It is breathable, as you both sweat when you go upwards, but still have to keep the heat down to minus 25 degrees.

• Goggles with more than one glass – primarily you should get one to cloudy/snowy weather with low visibility
• Two pairs of gloves – so you can change
• Buff (this is a must have, highly recommended that you can cover the entire face with it, because you will get a lot of snow in your face)

Avalanche equipment.

Avalanche danger in Japan is generally smaller than other ski areas. But it’s a must have with the most general avalanche equipment (tracker, shovel and probe – ABS backpack is not a must in Japan)

• We recommend a good backpack with room for all equipment (avalanche equipment, extra goggles lenses, gloves, water, snacks, etc.) and good options on the chest and waist so that the bag is well placed on the back.
• Tracker, shovel and probe (we recommend that you have your own avalanche equipment that you use every time so you have trained and know it very well. However, it is always possible to rent avalanche equipment at the destination).
