More Info

Given its close proximity to Tokyo, the top ski resorts and backcountry skiing destinations in Nagano are easily accessible by train from the capital. While Hakuba is arguably the most popular location for backcountry skiing in Japan, there are several other areas that are well worth the visit here in the Japanese Alps. Steady snowfall in the mountains throughout the entire Nagano region creates ideal conditions for backcountry skiing. The deep powder is not the only thing that will love about skiing in Japan, however. Volcanic hot springs, delicious local cuisine, cozy accommodations and the friendly faces of the Japanese may just make you want to stay in this winter wonderland forever.

Yusuke is a very experienced guide, he was prompt about what time we agreed upon starting the day very professional. although the conditions for that day were not the best . Yusuke made sure that we got the most out of the day. after we found good snow. we decided to call the day a little early, and Yusuke took us to check a few beautiful sites in Hakuba with Yusuke giving us the history of the sites. he took us to a great onset. and after that we had a nice farewell dinner with him. Yusuke is very easy going and knows the mountain , felt very safe with him will definitely rebook with him next year. I highly recommend Yusuke for any one thinking about a guided tour. Ed & Iris
