I am a Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) athlete, ranked 7th in Japan. Snowboarding is one of my great passions. And Myoko is absolutely one of my favorite locations for this wonderful sport!
Only one hour north of Nagano, Myoko offers amazing long and almost vertical runs. This winter paradise in the Niigata Prefecture, is also famous for its fresh snow and hypnotizing views.
Moreover, here, we’ll find three very distinct resorts: Ikenotaira Onsen, Myojo Suginohara and Myoko Akakura. Hence the possibilities for finding just the right spot for our adventure are endless.
What’s more, Myoko is a very interesting town, rich in history and culture, as well as a vibrant lifestyle. Don’t miss out on the local traditions, including an exquisite cuisine and onsens, japanese hot springs.
I would gladly share with you all my knowledge and experience snowboarding in Japan. But, please note I am not an instructor or a mountain guide. Thus, rather than teaching you, I will focus on making sure we have a wonderful time snowboarding together. Also, for safety reasons, we will stay within the ski resort boundaries at all times.
If this sounds like a good plan, don’t hesitate and request to book this trip. I would love to show you my beloved Myoko for a day, and enjoy snowboarding through it with you.

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!

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.
