Experience the Unique "Snow & Soul" Ski Tour

Introduction

In an innovative collaboration, Big Holiday Co., Ltd., and the NPO MP Research Association are proud to announce the upcoming day trip ski tour titled "Snow & Soul: A Winter Experience". Set for January 18, 2026, this initiative targets international students and workers from ASEAN countries residing in Japan. The tour promises not only winter fun on the slopes but also opportunities for marriage matchmaking and cultural exchange.

Overview of the Tour

The Snow & Soul ski tour offers a fresh approach to domestic travel by merging the elements of skiing, social interaction, and matchmaking into one exhilarating experience. Participants can look forward to a variety of activities, including beginner-friendly skiing, engaging games aimed at fostering communication, and lunch meetings designed to facilitate connections. The organizers have created an environment where attendees can easily relax and interact across cultural barriers, providing a welcoming space for new friendships and connections.

Details of the Tour

• - Date: January 18, 2026 (Day trip from Ikebukuro)
• - Target Audience: This ski tour is geared specifically towards international students and workers from ASEAN countries, focusing on promoting cultural exchange and marriage matchmaking.

This tour represents a pioneering effort from Big Holiday, integrating the skiing experience with efforts to build communities and stimulate local tourism in Japan's ski regions.

Background and Purpose

The increasing number of international students and workers, particularly from Vietnam and other ASEAN nations, highlights a pressing social issue in Japan – the need for community and opportunities for social engagement. In contrast, local ski resorts face the challenge of generating new tourist demands while recovering from the impact of declining inbound tourism. The collaboration between Big Holiday and the MP Research Association aims to address these issues, offering memorable experiences characterized by safe and comforting meeting environments.

With Big Holiday's extensive expertise in the travel industry and the MP Research Association's background in cultural exchange, this initiative sets the stage for a distinct social travel experience that fosters deeper connections among participants.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, Big Holiday plans to regularly host similar interactive tours while also opening up new programs for cultural exchange events benefiting ties with ASEAN countries. By creating rich experiences that transcend nationality, the company aims to contribute significantly to community enhancement and international collaboration in Japan.
