There is incredible mountain terrain, loads of small local ski areas and some of Japan's finest backcountry terrain in the South Tohoku region.

A typical day out here will include accessing the backcountry with a guide by day to ski the region’s light, dry powder, retiring in the evening to a traditional ryokan hotel and relaxing in a thermally-heated onsen, before eating delicious Japanese delicacies, washed down with warm sake or a local beer.

Snow Overview

Japan

Updated 04/03

Spring is beginning to ~~sprung~~ spring across Japan, particularly on Honshu where sun and mild temperatures will appear periodically over this forecast period. Temperatures will still drop massively over this weekend, coming with it some serious jappow with around a foot of snowfall over this period; mild and more spring-like conditions will then return into the new week.

Hokkaido remains much more on theme, with cool-to-cold temperatures throughout this forecast period and steady snowfall throughout, crescendoing with around a foot of snowfall over the weekend. Things then settled down more into the new week, albeit with plenty of snowfall to boot.
