Snow Country Stories Japan is currently on a break between seasons. I’ll announce the return date as soon as possible. In the meantime, this bonus episode features a clip of my recently published interview on the Lost Without Japan podcast.

Lost Without Japan is a bi-weekly podcast focused on listeners planning their first trip to Japan or for those who are returning, introducing new destinations and experiences to get them off the beaten track. The host of the podcast Mike covers a broad range of topics and talks to people throughout Japan and was kind enough to invite me on to discuss spring in snow country and ask for my recommendations of the best places to enjoy the snow as the weather warms up. During the interview we discussed the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route and Kamikochi – both of which open to the public on April 15 – along with Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort – Japan’s largest and highest ski resort which is also blessed with some of the country’s best spring skiing and snowboarding.

Lost Without Japan is available on all popular podcast apps and you can follow the show on Instagram and Facebook. My chat with Mike is Episode 15 of Season 3 of his podcast and very generously titled 'Talking Snow Country Stories Japan w. Peter Tour Guide Extraordinarire'. I hope you enjoy!
