I'm a Tokyo-based snowboarder and father of two with more than 20 years on Japan's slopes. I've personally visited and tested 26+ resorts across the country — from the deep powder of Myoko to the family-friendly runs of Karuizawa. Every recommendation on this site comes from real experience on the mountain.
