Five days, four nights of powder, hot springs, slow dinners and Japanese rhythm. We chase the snow forecast each morning so every day finds the best mountain in Myoko.

Three locals.
Two languages.
One philosophy.
Your host is half-Japanese, fluent in English and Portuguese — the bridge between two worlds. Around him, three Japanese locals look after the week: cooking, guiding, driving, pouring sake.
Two of us speak English; the rest speak only Japanese — that is intentional. You came for the real thing.
All this for ¥40,000 per day
Stay in a private traditional Japanese house, tatami dormitories .
All dinners — nabe, shabu-shabu with local ingredients. "Build-Your-Own Breakfast" We curate a fresh local grocery experience with premium ingredients, allowing you to create a personalized meal that perfectly suits your dietary preferences.
