Description

Please join me for 2+ days in the beautiful area of Gunma and Nigata to experience ski touring in places where very few foreign tourists go. This makes it an unforgettable cultural trip while enjoying good snow among the hills and the forests of the region.

The Gunma prefecture is located 2 hours drive North West of Tokyo. I come from that region and it will be a great pleasure to let you discover it.

We had a wonderfull ski touring trip with Iwao in Gunma. Iwao brought us in various beautifull landscapes to found very good spring snow. He is a very professional guide that can adapt to clients will and conditions! We had great time sharing our experiences about nature and mountains. The second day, we had a long tour with beautiful views on gunma's region and finissing along a river in an amazing forest. It was great fun to wait the last train in the midel of nowhere at sunset to come back to our village! Iwao has perfectly organised the trip bringing me to nice local onsen, restaurant and hôtel! Wonderfull trip to recommand!
