Description
Ride with Noriko Ishimatsu, snowboarder and Freeride World Qualifier athlete, on the beautiful slopes of Japan’s Kansai region.
Lying in the south-central region of the country, Kansai is the cultural and historical heart of Japan, and the surrounding mountains provide some great opportunities to snowboard.
As a Freeride World Qualifier athlete, with 15 years of snowboarding experience, I intimately know the mountains of Kansai.
There are over 150 kilometers of slopes that are served by 106 ski lifts, making a vast track of terrain easily accessible.
The largest ski resort in the area is Hachi Kita Kogen, which offers 20 kilometers of slopes and has been operating since 1969. The runs are evenly divided between beginner, intermediate and advanced.
The highest ski resort in the region is Okuibuki, which is at a loft altitude of 1,250 meters. Its newer slopes offer the great challenge of 46 degrees. Okuibuki is located just east of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater in the entire country.
Whichever ski resort you chose, the great snow quality, and long with the abundance of runs, from beginner to advanced, mean you can always find the ideal slopes.
Take advantage of this opportunity of riding with a professional freeride athlete and enjoy the experience of snowboarding together.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the great Japanese mountains and snowboard with Noriko Ishimatsu, Freeride World Qualifier athlete.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
