About

Turns out… JAPAN HAS THE BEST SNOW IN THE WORLD!!! No joke… we challenge anyone to prove otherwise! Three consecutive years in Hokkaido, it never stopped snowing and the powder piled up by the foot all day, and all night!!!

You asked for it... so you got it... We're heading back to Japan to take in the rich local culture, the elegant unique vistas, and featherlight word-class champagne powder. To ensure the most authentic and comprehensive experience, we've again teamed up with NYT Snow - The Best Reps in the New York - Japan connection.

If you're looking for the best snow in the world, you WILL find it in Japan. It's time to take East Coast to the FAR East Coast!!!

When OvRride does Japan, you can be sure we do it right. We've put together our biggest Japan trip yet to hit two of the best resorts in the region.

We'll be starting in Hokkaido, the northern most Japanese island, which receives some of the world’s heaviest snowfall.

From there we'll spend a few days exploring Tokyo, eating, sight seeing and taking in the nightlife.

Then we'll be headed to Hakuba Valley, a first time for OvRride!

Don't Miss this Epic Excursion! If you can't go to Japan every year... do it this year, OvR & NYT Snow 2026!

Adventure Tips

Pack Layered Clothing

Temperatures vary widely between snowy resorts and urban Tokyo; layering helps you stay comfortable all day.

Prepare for Deep Powder

The Hokkaido and Hakuba regions offer some of the deepest and lightest snow globally — good technique and proper gear are key.

Carry Local Currency

While many places accept cards, smaller shops and hot springs are often cash-only; have yen handy to avoid inconvenience.

Book Early for Accommodations

High winter season in Hokkaido and Hakuba means lodging fills quickly; reserve your spot well ahead of time through OvRride.
