Freeride skiing in Gunma and Nigata

Gunma and Nigata are two great spots 2 hours drive from Tokyo for downhill and freeride skiing. It can be the perfect option for the ones visiting Japan in January, February or March and who wish to experience the unique Japanese powder snow.

We can ski together for one or several days in that area (Kanetsu), northwest of Tokyo. It includes resorts like Tanigawadake, Joshuhotaka, Kagura, Hakuba and Nagano. There are a lot of skiing options here which is a great advantage because we can go every day where the snow and weather conditions are the best without having to drive too much.

Going ski touring is also an option. The best time will then be March and April.

I can help you organising the accommodation making sure you can go in traditional Japanese places (if this is what you are looking for) and so enjoy not only good skiing but also our culture (food, onsen…).

There are 2 ways to come here from Tokyo, either with the car (2 hours) either with the Shinkansen (the Japanese bullet train) (90 minutes).

I will take up to 6 clients. If you would be a larger group, I will ask a certified mountain guide friend of mine to join us.

Feel free to contact me if you wish to have more info and if you are looking to organise one or several guided ski tour here. It will be my pleasure to let you discover this fantastic region where I come from and show you my secrets spots.
