Myoko Kogen

Deep snow, rich tradition—Myoko Kogen is Japan’s timeless powder haven.

Myoko Kogen, Japan. 

$8,950 CDN / Person (Taxes and fees included)

Welcome to Japan’s Myoko Kogen, a legendary powder paradise. This 7-night trip offers 6 full days of skiing across multiple resorts, all accessed via our private van. Included in your package: accommodation at a comfortable hotel with its own onsen (hot spring baths) for après-ski relaxation, daily breakfast, 6 days of lift tickets, pickup upon arrival at Myoko Kogen Station, and a hosted welcome gathering and final wind-up party. Every evening features a “dine-around” experience – we arrange reservations at different local restaurants so you can savor authentic Japanese cuisine (pay your own way), making dinner both convenient and culturally enriching.

Myoko Kogen sits in the heart of Japan’s snow country, catching ocean-effect storms that dump over 13–16 meters of snow each winter. This means deep, dry powder is almost guaranteed. With our private transport and local guides, we’ll chase the best conditions daily across Myoko’s diverse ski areas.

The slopes here are notably uncrowded and offer something for everyone – from long runs to off-piste glades. Unlike some Japanese resorts, Myoko has a relaxed policy on tree skiing, so advanced skiers can enjoy the gladed powder stashes in-bounds. Each day’s plan remains flexible to find you the deepest snow and most exciting terrain – an endless powder hunt!
