The Itinerary
Day by day
Arrival
Private transfer straight to the villa · no figuring out trains with ski bags. Settle in, meet the crew, first dinner together in the house.
Niseko
First day on snow. Niseko earns its reputation fast. Your Snow Host knows where the good stuff is hiding. Yoga in the evening.
Niseko
Back at it. By now you know your crew and the mountain a little better, and the turns start feeling easy. Dinner out in town.
Niseko · Gates
Last day at Niseko · we go where the snow is, gates and all if conditions call for it. Onsen after, always.
Rusutsu
A full day of quiet, tree-lined terrain. Fewer crowds, more turns. Sushi-making class in the villa tonight.
Kiroro
One day at a resort most visitors never make it to · some of the best snow in Hokkaido, and almost nobody there.
Rest & Integration
Spa and yoga day. Optional skiing. A final group dinner to close out the week.
Departure
Private transfer to the airport. The long way home.
All-inclusive
What's included
Every detail handled · you only bring yourself and your gear.
The Experience
More about the Japan trip
This isn't a lift-pass-and-figure-it-out kind of trip. It's hosted, guided, and built around actually knowing the mountain you're on. Deep in the mountains of Japan, where storms roll in from Siberia and blanket the landscape in the lightest powder on earth, this is a LUX week where the powder adventure meets ancient culture, and intensity meets deep restoration. Three resorts, one villa, and someone local who actually knows where the good snow is. Most trips make you choose one resort — this gives you Niseko, Rusutsu, and Kiroro, with a private villa, a private chef, and a crew who gets it waiting at the end of every powder day.
