JAPOW ! ジャパウ!

Winter Scene Japan JWP

Japan is a land of harmonious dualities, ancient and modern, disciplined and creative. In this journey from Tokyo to Hokkaido, Duncan Grossart explores Shinto shrines and samurai history before heading north in search of legendary Japow, the powder snow that defines Niseko. Beneath Mount Yōtei and among silent birch forests, the experience becomes more than skiing. It is immersion in nature, culture and climate, and a reminder that travel, at its best, reshapes perspective and deepens reverence.
