In this video I travel from Whistler, Canada to Hakuba, Japan to find some of the best powder snowboarding in the world. It's a ten hour flight to Japan, where we are spending the night in Tokyo. Then we take a three hour high speed train to Nagano. Then Finally a one hour bus ride to Hakuba. TJ's friend Bo is also joining us on this snowboard trip in Japan.

Love to see you guys here. TJ without beanie looks great!✌️
It's like a whole different TJ without the beanie!
IKR, totally didnt recognise him.
Haha decided to change it up for this travel day
I knooww.. I was like.ohh..hellooo tj 😉
Love that feeling of driving up to a new mountain!
All the ladies are gonna come after TJ now after sporting that GQ look!
you guys are living the dream man.
Have a good trip! Stoked to see the videos coming up! Hope Chris’s knee is doing better.
You guys in hakuba!? I learned everything from your channel like 4 months ago with my imagination before I even touch a snowboard for the first time and it totally works, now I'm in hakuba as well, I almost finish my first season here and will be leaving next Friday, just wondering if we can ride together sometime next week. Really want to meet you guys and I kinda want to show off my wildcat too ha!
-Todd
tmcxp same for me!! I did not need those expensive courses. And now I am teaching to my kids !!!
I literally left Hakuba today 😂
I HIIIIGHLY recommend you guys head to Iwatake for a day trip. Quiet mountain, wicked runs, you will not regret it. It's the local favorite.
Monkeys are defs a 1 time trip. Expensive for what it is though IMO. (Im in Hakuba every year for the whole season and family lived in tokyo)
Keen to see some shots of the boys hitting the 47 park or even the recently built iwatake base park!
I agree
Agreed.Iwatake is the most underrated resort in hakuba
Yeah amazing on pow days
Cortina is probably the best for powder days. Also has an amazing onsen included with the ticket.
That poppy orange colour from that board looks so amazing :3
Hi guys, you can send your bags via taqubin (black cat) to your next destination. It will take around 24-48 hours. It costs around ¥2600 per bag. You can send your boards and bag to the airport. You can select which terminal. Saves you carting your stuff around the trains and station.
yes it's way more convenient because it's very crowded everywhere
And the trains aren't designed for luggages
Most services will do an overnight delivery, and yes none of the trains are well designed for snowboard bags or large luggage apart from the NEX.
Literally packing as I speak, to head to Hakuba tomorrow morning from London! I'll be sure to say hi if the wife and I bump into you!
oh, and we missed you at hemel (our local indoor slope) and in switzerland this year by like a week too. Small world is small!
You guys must be surprised in the countryside of Japan! Everything is different from the Western world! If you get confused, let me know!
Anyways, welcome to Japan and hope you have a good time! I used to go skiing at Goryu-Tomi near hakuba!
I just left Hakuba Saturday. I gotta say for my riding style I liked the 420 vs the sushi. I love the occasional switch riding, and both did amazing in the trees. Have fun guys! Ps we enjoyed Hakuba 47, worth the 10 minute orientation to ride exclusive tree runs! Tsugaike kogen was a blast too!!! Enjoy!!!
snowboarding in japan sounds like a dream! 🤩 hope you have a great time!
Welcome to Japan!!!
Have a good one.
We look forward to you guys videos!
The Japow vids are gonna be insane!
Love your videos keep it up! Shinjuku station is actually the busiest train station in the world! Hope you like Japan I’ve lived here for a few years and I love it.
KEVIN YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE BEST!! Please write a snowboarding 101 book.
Kevin, you guys can get a direct bus from Narita airport to Happo-one bus terminal next time. The trip is about 6 hours. Have fun guys.
Welcome to Japan guys! Wish I could come and meet you, but I’ll be snowboarding near Mt. Fuji while you guys are here.
I’m from Japan and always enjoy watching your videos I know it’s pretty confusing out here but have a blast snowboarding in Hakuba guys!
Google Translate is your friend! You can even use the camera feature for real time translation. its not perfect, but for ordering food, or reading signs its pretty convenient.
Also google translate is good for two people talking where you can set it to listen each language
Next time pack all your stuff into you snowboard bag. Way easier to navigate Japan's busy network. Was there two weeks ago. Awesome powder!!!!! Enjoy guys.
First time seeing TJ”s hair
Just come back a week ago after staying in Hakuba Cortina at the Green Plaza. Got some awesome runs there from the top and had an awesome few days of powered dumps. Great off piste runs through the trees on the far right and far left runs of the Hotel!!!
Back in UK... Don't think Hemel Snow Centre will be quite the same.
Try the hot springs. Nothing better after a great day of snowboarding and you be in good shape for the next day! Enjoy Japan Pow!
thanks for all these insights, its like im there
Hakuba is my jam!!!
I would recommend going to tsugaike or iwitake if u guys have a big pow day. Slopes are almost empty on both mountains and there is just so much terrain to explore in both resorts
Nice video I've always wanted to go to Japan looks awesome there
welcome to JP!
have good snowboarding and japanese food :D
Have fun there guys! I hope you can set up a meet sometime here in japan too! Since I'm quite keen on heading out to hakuba again. I'm still a complete beginner though, I can complete a run, but mostly on my heel edge, I'm working on linking my heel amd toe edges, and your videos are really helping out! Hopefully I can practice enough to reach intermediate level before the season ends.
This is why I always pack my boots with my carry-on!
good intro, good music, overall a well put together video.
I'm glad you came to Japan！！
Welcome to Japan!! Hakuba is good. But I recommend Naeba and Kagura. It takes only about two hours from Tokyo by shinkansen and bus.
Welcome to Japan ,wish can see you in Hokkaido someday.
Yees Kevin! I've been rocking the Bataleon Global Warmer the whole season long and it's such a fun board :]
hey guys! I recommend using the Takyubin courier service next time for your board bags, direct transfer to your accomo at Hakuba so you dont have to carry it everywhere with those busy trains. Very reliable and fairly cheap too. Did it last year. Enjoy Hakuba!
Thanks! Will definitely use that next time!
Have a nice Pow! Yeww🤟🏻 Portugal here!🤙🏻
Sickvid! Have a nice trip with that Japow!
Just left Hakuba today I recommend Hakuba 47 and Tsugaike definitely two of the best resorts
Tusgaike has been so fun, we are really enjoying Happo-One as well
So jealous I've always wanted to go to Japan. :3
TJ without a beanie?!?! World must be coming to an end lol
lol
welcome guys! hope you enjoy it here!
This looks fun
Japan is the best!
Mt. Bachelor is getting over 40 inches of pow this weekend👍🏼🌨 #letitdump
It must have been pain the ass going through Shinjuku - Tokyo - Toranomon with all the gears on day 1.
I hope you will get good snow in Hakuba tomorrow.
Have a great trip!
Guys , you are the best , cool Place !! 🤙
Here is a tip for travelling around japan with snowboard bags...don't! At the airport, find the Kuro Neko Yamato (Black cat carrying a kitten logo) counter and send your bags by their delivery service! They are fantastic and can deliver your bags overnight to Hakuba from the airport or plan two days for sending to Hokkaido. It works out really well cos usually you want a day or two in Tokyo before you go to the ski fields. When you go home, do the same thing in reverse - they will come pick up your gear from your hotel. SUPER convenient!! Definitely easier than lugging your board everywhere especially any crowded train stations or stations where there are sometimes no elevators from the platforms. Also the trains aren't that great for even suitcases sometimes...much better to send your gear right from the airport.
Kevin, I can see you’ve bought a BATALEON G.W.!!! I ride this board and love it. Which size did you pick? Have you already tried 3BT? I have just come back from my second trip this year and I want to go back to the mountains!!!!!
Tj is soooo Sweet ❤️
How I do my trips there. Try to get a flight that gets you there as early as possible. Then you can get on the train and honestly I am doing a half day, using this method. I'm tired but being super excited negates that.
What board is the wood and white one that TJ put his bindings on? If its the saloman sick stick, how did he get it in that color?
It is the Sick Stick, but it's the 18/19 model size 151 I got my hands on it early
Man !!! I missed you in Japan !!! Amy chance you are still here?
Awesome trip!
how did you deal with the jet lagged?
Welcome to Japan!
hello, I will start a lesson on snowboarding and I'm a complete beginner, my question is regarding the boots, can you spend a day walking on the snowboard shoes or is advisable to have secondary snow boots for walking around when your not snowboarding?
TJ without a beanie so different, looking good nice hair! What about you Kevin? What’s underneath that beanie 😉
Must be so annoying when the airline loses your bag!!
JAPAN is amazing! I've been home from Japan for almost a week now! ahh i miss it so much the people and food!!
flying out to narita in 5 hours then heading straight to hakuba for a month. See you guys there.
We are riding Tsugaike tomorrow
Board Archive was at Tsugaike today the powder was insane. Found some sick lines left of the top gondola through the trees. Cortina is looking the goods for tomorrow guys.
GREAT VIDEO GUYS
Love these vids
Hey! Visit hokkaido too! Gonna go there next march. 😁
I miss Japan so much...gah
Flying to Tokyo, staying a few days there then up to Niseko for snowboarding. Considering not bringing my snowboard gear & instead renting performance boards because I am concerned about carrying/transporting all my equipment. Is that a real concern considering how "tight" and "small" everything seems when it comes to Japan?
Have fun there 👋🏻
you listed everything besides that board bag. Is it padded with wheels?
Yes
those were my friends out there in hakuba throwing that guy in the snow!
COme to snowboard to Kusatsu Onsen, the rope way is off because of the volcano but is a cool place.
Cool love the vids♥️
Love the Video!!
When flying with a snowboard do you have to get a padded snowboard bag?
enjoy Japan man, and go to a sunaku haha
well edited
Did they ever find that guys board bag? I would be pissed
日本に来てたんですね！！！！
Must check out Tsugaike, get your DBD pass earlier and smash the off pistes
Tsugaike the place to be in hakuba! Get your double black diamond pass 👌
Hopefully they find Bo's bag, renting boots sucks.
man living the life
Personal Question: How do you guys make the money to be able to do these trips? Is the TH-cam, sponsor and patreon stuff enough to fund it?
BGM?Japaness jazz hip hop,sounds great
What is the biggest tip you can give for traveling to Hakuba to board? Thank in advance
Take the Azusa 3 and go directly
siick this is gettin so dope
I would be interested in knowing like a how much an adventure like that would cost. Would a guy be able to do a Japan trip and keep it under $1000.00?
SkuzzelB8 depending where you are coming from. 1500 to 2k would be more realistic
You should go up to niseko on the north island
Just snowed 14 in here in mammoth :)))
Was there not a closer airport near hakuba?
Live the videos!
Welcome 🇯🇵
Nagano!
Thank you!
Hey I’m trying to decide between a sandbox 2.0 helmet or a smith gage helmet. Any opinions?
Sandbox
