I started skiing when I was 3 and then, in high school, I literally skied all the time! I then moved to the US at 19 and lived there for 6 years, including 3 seasons as a ski bum in Breckeridge, where I joined the freeride skiing scene in North America.

After that, I learnt that my local ski area in Nagano receives way more snow and returned to Japan to ski my local mountains. Since 2014, I've been running Ski Nagano, a concierge service that welcomes foreign visitors and introduces them to local ski areas.

I mainly ski in Shigakogen, Madarao, Myoko and Nozawa Onsen areas.

What people are saying about {{text}}

**Are you looking for a totally different skiing outing?** Then you should ski with a professional! Join me for one or several days in Nagano, a fabulous winter sports destination in Japan!

**Nagano Prefecture, located in Japan’s Honshu island, is famous for its impressive mountains**. Home to 9 of the 12 tallest peaks in the country, the region hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics, and is now part of the Freeride World Tour.

**This is the area where I grew up, so I’ve been skiing here since childhood.** As one of the best skiers in my country (ranked 6th in the FWT), I can say that we will explore an amazing terrain, with **deep powder snow, tree runs and steep slopes**. Here you can get it all!

**There are a lot of ski resorts in Nagano**, the most famous of which are in Hakuba. Some of the resorts we may visit include Shiga Kogen, Nqzawa Onsen and Madarao. Additionally, there are descents of all types. You only need an intermediate skiing level, however, you will need to **connect turns and safely descend slopes without assistance.**

I am not an instructor or a guide, so **the goal of our trip is to share some fun descents** and spend a great time in the mountain. However, **you will be able to follow my lines and see my movements first-hand in order to improve your skills!**

**So, if you want to spend an unforgettable trip with an FWQ skier, please contact me. Let’s enjoy my favorite descents in Nagano together!**

I can also take you to Niigata, another amazing sking area of Japan: [check it out](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/skiing-niigata-fwq-skier-kazushige-sekiya/)!

Kazushige Sekiya, one of the best skiers in Japan, shows you around the mountains of Nagano on an unforgettable skiing experience. Join him for one or several days and ski with a pro!

**Have you ever skied with a pro? This is a unique opportunity for you to do so.** Follow me to the amazing ski area of Niigata, Japan, and prepare for an awesome ski adventure!

**The Niigata Prefecture, located northwest of Tokyo, is a top destination for winter sports lovers.** This is where skiing in Japan started in the early 1910’s. Nowadays, there are more than 50 resorts operating in the area!

**In the southern part of the prefecture, we will find the Myoko Kogen area**. Myoko includes Myoko Akakura (Onsen and Kanko), Seki Onsen and Ikenotaira, among other resorts. This breathtaking place is famous for its very abundant snowfalls and fresh powder snow.

**I grew up skiing in Nagata, so I know these slopes like the back of my hand.** Now I am an FWQ skier ranked top-ten in Japan. I’ll take you to my favorite runs where it all began for me!

This trip is only suitable for at least intermediate-level skiers. I am not an instructor or guide, so the goal of **the tour is to share some stunning descents together**. However, while seeing how a pro moves, and following my lines, **you can improve your own skills. Furthermore, I will share some of my secrets and tips for you to put into practice!**

**So, if you want to ski in Niigata with a local athlete, please contact me. Let’s explore some of the best slopes of Japan together!**

We can also ski together in Nagano, another fabulous region in my country. Check out this option [here](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/skiing-nagano-fwq-skier-kazushige-sekiya/).

Follow Kazushige, a top-ten Japanese skier, on this fabulous experience in Niigata. Dont miss the chance to ski with a professional in a scenic spot!
