Sooo lucky to get an early pre-Xmas tour this Winter - nothing like the sensation of gliding on fresh powder snow immersed in nature.

The magic of Japan Winter is here - our first XC ski of the season at around 1,300m elevation, accessed via a (magnificent) gondola ride!

Word gets around! Due to unprecedented early demand for Nozawa Onsen accommodation, unfortunately we have NO AVAILABILITY remaining for JAN 2026 and only limited availability in late FEB. Please note if you have flexible dates, we are more likely to be able to find options for you.
March is where it's at... longer days, more stable weather, less crowded and a nice big snowpack that's been accumulating all season. There's still plenty of wide open availability at authentic family-run Japanese-style accommodation in top locations throughout MAR 2026... get in touch for options!

Truly authentic, comfortable stays at family-run Nozawa Onsen accommodation and uniquely immersive guided experiences.

Our first snowshoeing of the season in beautiful conditions with fresh, fluffy powder everywhere.

Immersive, exhilarating and even meditative - take it all in at a human pace on a private guided snowshoeing adventure!
