The Tohoku area of Japan is located in the northeast of the country’s main island of Honshu. The region is known throughout the island for its harsh climate. However, with that harsh climate, comes a lot of snowfall, which, of course, leads to some fantastic snowboarding. And on this full day, group trip where you will get to snowboard with a FWQ professional, you will get to enjoy slopes in one of a few different locations, all of which I know very well.
Along with the Tohoku area’s harsh climate, it is also quite remote. As a result, while popular with tourists, it is not overflowing with people. That means we can enjoy riding the slopes without having to worry about line-ups, and other inconveniences that come with crowded areas.
The goal of this trip is to give you a unique riding experience. Instead of receiving lessons, you will simply get to ride with an experienced snowboarder. Thus giving you a chance to still learn, as if you were riding with a guide, but in a much different way. I will also gladly give you tips and advice whenever I can.
Because of the nature of this trip, participants should be able to ride at a minimum intermediate level.
Tohoku is a great place for snowboarding. As varied as it is beautiful, there will be no issue in finding the ride place for you. To enjoy it for yourself, all you have to do is send a request.
I can also go snowboarding with you for a half-day in Nozawa Onsen on this trip.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
