Spend the snow season in Japan

New British company Snow Season Japan, is the first to offer long stay winter season holidays with a Japanese language course in a choice of Japan’s best mountain locations, opening up Japanese world class powder conditions and a chance to experience an incredible and unique culture to UK skiers and snowboarders.

Japan is now firmly on the map as a top powder destination. It is fast becoming the place to go for both reliable and incredible powder snow conditions. Pro riders and first-timers alike are amazed by the epic conditions, lack of lift queues and endless powder, not to mention being enchanted by the culture to be found in Japan.
