‘Snow Country Stories Japan’ is a bi-weekly podcast for anyone who thinks that escaping modern life, to live or travel in Japan's legendary ‘yukiguni’ (snow country) is a good idea. You can expect stories about life in the snow, mountains and villages, traditions and myths, old ways and new. We’ll talk about skiing and snowboarding, national parks, old houses, festivals and music, temples and shrines, artisans, breweries and distilleries, food, travel and a whole lot more. Basically, we talk everything snow country.
