Description

Explore Myoko, one of the most fantastic areas for snowboarding in Japan. Join me on this day trip and enjoy the most thrilling slopes and dazzling sceneries in the Japan Alps.

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!

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.
