3 Reasons

Peaceful Experience

Japan has exploded in popularity as one of the go-to skiing destinations on earth, resulting in millions of people flocking to the ski regions each year. Kagura is lucky in that it is still a relatively underrated gem, with Western crowds few and far between, ensuring a more peaceful, tranquil and relaxing backcountry skiing experience.

Stunning Views

Backcountry skiing in Kagura exposes one to absolutely magnificent views out over the quintessentially Japanese countryside, with the gentle alpine forests and humongous lakes making for a postcard-pretty scene.

Excellent Conditions

Due to its higher elevation in relation to other ski resorts, Kagura contains consistently fresh powder almost every day. This means ideal conditions for backcountry skiing, and as an added bonus the area also has one of the longest ski seasons in Japan, meaning you can backcountry ski to your hearts content.
