Japan Journals is a snowboarding web series based out of the fluffy depths of Japan's snow covered wilderness.

In this episode the crew is reminded just how deep the snow gets in Japan. Nick Hyne takes the crew to stay with his host family in Minakami and then we get waist deep at Nozawa Onsen! Both areas dish up a decent amount of snow and have some classic fluffy Japanese terrain to back it up. Stay posted throughout the season to see what drags the world’s best snowboarders to this incredible part of the world.

Episode 1 features Nick Hyne, Nick Brown, Roland Morley-Brown and Dane Tiene as they come in contact with some of the world's finest shred locations.
