Japan is a hot spot for ski & snowboard tourism, with powder lovers from around the world traveling to country’s multiple ski areas.

“Japan is known for having some of the world’s best snowfall and quality. Now, powder lovers from all over the world flock to Japan in search of deep snow.

Both my homes have the perfect environment for enjoying freeride skiing. ‘Home from Home’ is a glimpse into the lives and hearts of some of the best Japanese freeride skiers.“
