Powder Recon
At Powder Recon Japan, we specialise in guided tours a little off the beaten track.
Through years of experience, we believe the ski resorts offered through our packages and tours deliver a unique riding experience with far fewer crowds, less westernised influences and more untracked powder. We offer our own accommodation in Myoko Akakura, 4wd transfers to resorts, premium rentals and customised packages for our Central and Northern tours.

When on the Iwate Explorer Tour, get ready to immerse yourself in extraordinary culinary experiences, the renowned culture, and of course some of the best skiing that Honshu island has to offer. This is your ticket to explore the multitude of uncrowded resorts in the Morioka and Amihari Onsen area.
If you're after an adventure, but at a slower pace, then the Iwate Explorer Tour is for you.
Akakura Accomodation
Purpose built to cater to the needs of Powder Recon clients, the Powder Recon Lodge is built in a French chalet style, with family rooms, single rooms and twin single options and a healthy dose of communal living space you're sure to find comfort in your week in Myoko.

Built with native Japanese timber, and in a traditional Japanese manner, with a modern twist the Powder Recon Lodge has been proudly built using mostly local Japanese labor.
Kogen House is a self-contained apartment complex situated in the heart of Akakura and a stones throw from the chair lift. Kogen House is beautifully finished in native Japanese timber.
