Description

Looking for a unique snowboarding adventure? How does snowboarding with a professional sound? If you like the idea, then don’t hesitate and join me on this half-day snowboarding trip in Nagano, Japan.

I am a Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) athlete. Also, I am ranked 7th in Japan. Snowboarding is one my biggest passions. And one of my favorite places for practicing this wonderful sport is Nagano, in the Japan Alps.

Located in the Honshu island, Nagano is famous for being the home of 9 out of the 12 highest mountains in Japan. What’s more, the majestic peaks here, offer an incomparable backdrop scenery.

Also, its amazing weather conditions, ensure fresh snow all the way from December to April. So we can enjoy long and wild rides, with the best powder snow. Here, you will find different types of descents. But all of them offer the most thrilling experience!

It would be my pleasure to share with you some pro tips as we explore this winter wonderland. However, please note that I am not a certified ski guide, nor an instructor. Therefore, we will have to remain within the ski resorts boundaries at all times. But worry not! You will still find a lot of local ski resorts and areas that foreign visitors haven’t explored. Why not ride and explore the local secret spots with me?

If you want to join this half day trip, just send me a request. I promise it will be an unforgettable snowboarding adventure in Japan.

Hello! I'm Masaki Mitsuhisa, a pro snowboarder!

I am based in Myoko, a place renowned for its deep powder. I would define my riding style as "All Mountain Freestyle": I especially enjoy doing jumps and tricks on natural mountain terrain.

I'd love to ride with people who respect Japanese culture, its people and its mountains and who are here to enjoy Japan as a whole.

I welcome riders of all levels! I'm not very good at speaking English so communication could be a little tricky but I'm sure we'll find a way around it.

Lastly, thank you for visiting Japan. I wish you a wonderful trip and I sincerely look forward to riding together!

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.
