Japan in winter feels completely different.

The Experience
This journey combines skiing in Hakuba with time in two of Japan’s most iconic cities.
You start in Tokyo, adjust to the time zone, and get a feel for the pace of the country before heading into the mountains for six nights of skiing. The trip finishes in Kyoto, where tradition, food, and history take over.
