Travel to Japan with SNC Tahoe this winter. The Japanese culture is amazing, the people are immensely kind, and the food is excellent; it’s like art on a plate. Participants can choose to ski or snowboard at one of the many ski resorts in the Shiga Kogen area of northern Japan, or sightsee on those days. At the end of the trip we’ll spend two days in the Akihabara area of Tokyo, known as “Electric Town”. We’ll visit museums and cultural areas in Tokyo before returning back to the US.
