Philosophy

You've taken time away from your work and daily life to come to Hokkaido in winter.
I never lose sight of how valuable that time is — as a snowboarder, and as a guide.

​

My goal isn't just to show you good snow.
It's about those quiet moments after you return home,
when a memory from the mountains suddenly comes back to you.
That's what I hope to give you.

​

Time in the mountains passes quickly.
The sound of your skis, the spray of snow,
being completely in the moment.

​

So that when you look back, you can feel the air and the sensation of that day again,
I bring my camera with me.

​

I believe that's what makes the days after skiing just a little richer.

​

Through guiding and film,
I hope the day stays with you.

A Note on Language

I’m a local Japanese guide based in Niseko.
My English is conversational, but I can communicate clearly throughout the day.
If you’re looking for the best snow and a truly local experience, you’ll be in good hands.
