Japan Backcountry & Cat skiing
TOHOKU, JAPAN
January 9-17, 2026
Nomad Inc’s 9-day Tohoku Backcountry & Cat Skiing Tour blends world-class powder with authentic cultural immersion.
Think storm-chasing through legendary snow monster trees by day and unwinding in steaming onsen baths by night. This is skiing and riding at its purest—untracked, unforgettable, and deeply connected to place.
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:
DEEP POWDER
Chase storm cycles through legendary “snow monster” forests and glide down endless lines of untouched powder.
CAT SKIING ADVENTURE
Spend a full day cat skiing at a hidden, abandoned ski area—your private powder playground.
EXPERT GUIDES
Led by IFMGA/ACMG-certified guides (with bilingual support), focused on safety, smart terrain choices, and finding the best snow every day.
TRIP PHOTOGRAPHER
A dedicated photographer captures the action—so you can stay present in the moment and return home with professional shots of your Deep Powder Surf.
AUTHENTIC CULTURE
Stay in traditional ryokan inns, sip sake in local houses, and experience Japan beyond the tourist trail.
ONSEN BLISS
Reset tired legs in natural hot springs after each powder-filled day.
UNFORGETTABLE CUISINE
Savor regional specialties and multi-course Japanese dinners you’ll dream about long after the trip ends.
Why TOHOKU?
Japan’s north remains one of skiing’s best-kept secrets—less crowded than Hokkaido, but every bit as deep. Here, you’ll find terrain shaped by snow ghosts, charming mountain villages, and a culture that welcomes you in with warmth, tradition, and flavor.
