WINTER SPECIAL (SKI THE JAPOW)
The Magic of JAPOW (The Japanese Powder Snow)
Experience the unparalleled thrill of skiing (and snowboarding) in Japan, where the Japow is second to none. When you combine this with Japan’s rich cultural offerings and diverse experiences, it completely shifts the paradigm of ski holidays.
Our itinerary features two distinct ski resorts: Niseko, located on Hokkaido Island, stands as Japan’s premier ski destination—a cosmopolitan international resort boasting unparalleled access to Asia’s finest volcanic terrain, both on and off-piste. With a plethora of amenities on and off the slopes, your every need will be catered to.
On the other hand, nestled in the Japanese Alps on Honshu Island, lies the quaint ski village of Nozawa Onsen. Here, you’ll find a charming and authentic ski community, renowned not only for its pristine slopes but also for its picturesque onsens and snow monkeys. Nozawa Onsen offers a stark contrast to the bustling energy of Niseko, providing a serene and genuine experience.
Complementing your ski adventure are visits to both Kyoto and Tokyo, high-speed bullet train rides, accommodations in traditional ryokans, and indulgence in Japan’s exquisite cuisine. It’s an unparalleled blend of adventure, culture, and culinary delights that rivals any ski destination in France, Austria, Italy, or Canada.
