Japan Ski Week

DAY 1

Fly into Tokyo International Airport and meet the crew at our hotel, The Knot Tokyo Shinjuku, by 3pm for check-in. We kick things off with a 5pm orientation to get you settled and synced with the fam.

After that, we get the body moving and grab a few drinks before heading out for a welcome night to remember. We start with a fancy group dinner to set the tone, followed by our first legendary SYB-style night out in the heart of Tokyo.

DAY 2

Time to shake off the jet lag! We start with a light morning movement session in Shinjuku Chuo Park, followed by a big group breakfast.

Then we’re off to the mind-blowing TeamLab Planets exhibit, then a tour of the Tsukiji Fish Market for a mid-day bite, then the afternoon is yours. We'll have leaders going to visit Yoyogi Park, Shibuya Sky, and the Observatory, and you can choose which you'd like to do with them.

That evening, we walk to Golden Gai for a casual night out. Grab dinner at one of the tiny local spots, then it’s SYB-style bar hopping and karaoke. You’re singing. No backing out.

DAY 3

Post-workout and breakfast, we’re on the SYB shuttle for our included flight to Hokkaido. It is time to hit the world's most iconic powder zone.

We’ll check into the hotel and get fitted for gear immediately so we are ready for the morning. After a quick snow walk to scout the village and the mountain, we’ll wrap the night with a massive group dinner. Fresh food, deep powder vibes, and your new snow fam all in one place.

DAY 4

Early wake-up to get caffeinated, fuel up with breakfast, and hit the mountain! We’ll split into groups based on skill level and link up at designated après-ski meet spots.

After a full day on the slopes, we’ll freshen up and head into town for sushi, sake, and a taste of the local après scene.

DAY 5

By now we’ve found our rhythm. After exploring new slopes all day, we’ll regroup, switch gears and head to the Niseko Distillery for a tour, and yes, of course a tasting of that local Japanese gold. 

With a light buzz, and if the conditions allow it, we're going out for night skiing under the lights.

Later, we clean up, dress up, and turn up for our legendary theme costume night out.

What’s the theme? You’ll find out about a month before we depart. Surprise, surprise.

DAY 6

We start with the usual: wake-up, regroup, coffee, and a big breakfast before hitting the mountain for another full day of skiing.

In the afternoon, we all regroup and head to a group Onsen, our natural hot spring spa, for a well-earned soak and full-body chill vibes.

Dinner’s on your own tonight, be sure to set up reservations and explore the town orrrrr stay in your spa robe and melt into the night. Your call.

DAY 7

In the morning, we’ll hop on a bus to the far side of the mountain range and kick off our ski day from a whole new zone of Niseko. From there, we’ll ski our way back across the mountain, discovering fresh runs, new views, and hidden powder stashes along the way. Or take it easy, call it a half day and explore the local town with your new besties.

That evening, we’ll regroup for a chill crew dinner in town, good eats, good vibes, and even better stories from the slopes.

DAY 8

Today’s all about the costumes. We’re hitting the slopes in full theme mode, you’ll be spotting your crew from a mile away as we send it in style.

What’s the theme? You’ll find out about a month before we depart. Just know it’s going to be ridiculous, photogenic, and 100% SYB.

DAY 9

This is where the trip ends, folks, right here in Hokkaido. Make sure your flight home is booked from this airport, not Tokyo!

Lots of hugs, a few sore muscles, and a ton of unforgettable memories. Until the next adventure.
