Custom Backcountry Package
Everything sorted, so all you have to do is show up and ride
A custom package strings together everything that makes a proper Japan pow trip — accommodation with breakfast, a welcome dinner, transfers, and days of fully guided backcountry touring — into one easy booking. No juggling logistics between towns, no guessing which zone is firing that day.
We build the trip around your crew: your ability level, how many days you’ve got, and which of our bases — Nozawa, Myoko, Minakami, or Kagura — you want to explore. Want to link more than one region into a single trip? We can build that too.
We highly recommend the Snowcountry package, based out of Minakami. From Minakami we are able to access over 8 areas with diverse terrain and weather systems.
Packages start from ¥350,000 per person (based on 4+ travellers), for 6 nights / 7 days including 5 days of guiding.
Built entirely around your group
Whether you’re a solid crew chasing big vertical and steep lines, or a mixed-ability group wanting a mellower pace with a few rest days worked in, we shape the itinerary — and the terrain — to match. If you’d rather join a set-departure trip instead of a private package, check out our Nozawa Group Tours.

Sample 7-Day Itinerary
Here’s a real sample itinerary from one of our Minakami-based packages, just to give you a feel for how the days flow. Every package is built to order, so your route, rest days, and extras will shift depending on your group, ability, and what the mountain’s doing that week.
1 | Day 1: Arrival & Welcome | Arrival transfer and check-in (example base: Minakami Hotel Juraku), welcome briefing and rental fitting, welcome dinner at the hotel. |
2 | Day 2: Guided Backcountry | Hotel pick-up and transfer to the resort, a full day of guided backcountry touring, dinner at a local restaurant. |
3 | Day 3: Guided Backcountry + Sake | Hotel pick-up and transfer, guided backcountry touring, a Wall of Sake tasting experience, dinner at a local restaurant. |
4 | Day 4: Guided Backcountry | Hotel pick-up and transfer, a full day of guided backcountry touring, dinner at a local restaurant. |
5 | Day 5: Guided Backcountry + Onsen | Hotel pick-up and transfer, guided backcountry touring, an evening at Japan’s largest open-air onsen, dinner at a local restaurant. |
6 | Day 6: Guided Backcountry | Hotel pick-up and transfer, a full day of guided backcountry touring, dinner at a local restaurant. |
7 | Day 7: Departure | Departure transfer. |
Please note: while this sample itinerary is based around backcountry touring, terrain and routes always depend on snow, weather, and avalanche conditions on the day — some days may lean more sidecountry or involve extra hiking. Your guide will adjust the plan to keep things safe and get you the best snow on offer.
