Five days of powder.
A lifetime of memory.
A small-group immersion into traditional Japanese daily life and the legendary snow of Myoko Kogen — hosted in a traditional Japanese private house, guided by locals, lived at a Japanese pace.
Only up to 10 guests per group
Not a tour. A week inside Japan.
We pick you up at JR Joetsu-Myoko Station, hand you the snow gear, and welcome you with a steaming pot of nabe. From that first night, you live as a local: morning markets, onsen afternoons, powder days at Lotte Arai and Myoko, shared lodge dinners around the hori kotatsu, and evenings free to find your own izakaya in town.
Powder
Access to Lotte Arai, Akakura, Seki, Madarao and more — chasing the forecast each morning.
Onsen
Steaming hot springs under snow, the Japanese antidote to a long day.
Cuisine
Nabe and shabu-shabu around the hori kotatsu — two shared lodge dinners, cooked together and eaten slowly.
A two-story house 4 washitsu built for snow country.
Four guest bedrooms: two 8-tatami rooms sleeping 3 guests each, and two rooms sleeping 2 guests each — 10 guests in total. A wide dining-kitchen opens to mountain views.
