This month we’re introducing Myoko Kogen, one of Japan’s more hidden but highly recommended ski resort areas. The Daily Telegraph recently rated it one of the Top Ten ski resorts in the World. Probably something to do with the serious amount of light, dry powder snow it gets each season and the fact it’s only a couple of hours away from our favourite city Tokyo!
