Would you like to spend an entire day skiing with one of the best skiers in Japan? Then follow me. Let me show you some of the best descents of the Tohoku area!
I am a Freeride World Qualifier ranked 10th in Japan. I love to share the natural jewels of my country with other skiers and Tohoku is certainly one of those!
This scenic area is in the northeastern portion of Honshu, the largest island of the country. It is an ideal spot for winter sports with great snow conditions, uncrowded areas and fresh powder!
There are different options to choose from on this fun skiing adventure! Geto Kogen and Tazawako are near Morioka and Mount Iwate, perfect for powder skiing. In the south, the impressive Mount Bandai is surrounded by several ski resorts. Other options include Hakkoda, in Aomori, and Zao Onsen, in Yamagata.
So, if you want to explore the best slopes of Tohoku with a local expert, just contact me! Let’s go skiing together!
And if you want to explore this same area for several days, on a private trip, check out this other program.

I started my skiing career in freestyle skiing - in moguls. Back then, I competed in a lot of freestyle skiing competition such as Big Air. Afterwards, I discovered and immediately fell in love with skiing the mountains "as is" and entered the world of freeride skiing.
I am currently based in the city of Morioka, which is located in the Iwate Prefecture of Tohoku, Japan. I do a lot of backcountry skiing here, particularly in the Amihari and Hachimandaira areas.
I am a Freeride World Tour Qualifier who is currently ranked 10th in Japan.

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.
