City buzz and mountain rush – eight days of snow, sound and unstoppable, ARRIVAL certified vibes in Japan.
Overview
The lowdown
Our first drop sold out so we’ve worked some magic to bring it back. Different Hakuba accommodation, same epic experience. Start in the thick of Tokyo with two nights in Shibuya to roam arcades, back-alley izakayas and neon-lit streets. Then ride the direct train to Hakuba for five nights of deep snow and deeper vibes. Lift passes unlock 10 resorts, VIP wristbands get you slope-side for live sets and the nights? Festival chaos, après parties and new-found festi friends to match. With onsen soaks, ARRIVAL hosts, ski shuttles and mountain beats – this is Japanese winter, just the way you want it.
