Description

Located in the northeastern area of Japan’s largest island of Honshu, the Tohoku area is as beautiful as it is sprawling. And it is especially lovely in the winter season. That is the reason for this half-day snowboarding trip with a freeride world qualifier snowboarder.

While the Tohoku area is very tourist friendly, the slopes are not very crowded. As a result, you will get to enjoy the fullness of the rich slopes, and on powder days, you can enjoy their ungroomed snow.

Together, we will snowboard on different slopes. And my goal is not so much about teaching you about snowboarding. Instead, I intend to show you how the professionals do it, in hopes you pick up the subtle gestures that are often tough to explain and even tougher to understand when heard. However, I will gladly give you tips whenever you would like. Or, if you prefer to just enjoy riding the slopes with me, that would be great, too. In the end, this trip can be whatever you want it to be.

The only real criteria for this trip is that you must be able to snowboard at a minimum intermediate level. You should also be aware of your limitations and not try to overextend yourself. Instead, just focus on having a great time.

The Tohoku area is a great place for snowboarding. Large and beautiful, the scenery is great. So if you would like to join me on this half-day trip, just send a request. I look forward to riding with you!

You can also join me on a half-day riding trip in Nozawa Onsen.

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.
