It is a beautiful area with a great town at the base and from talking to those on the chairs, it has one of the best backcountry areas right outside the ropes. For what it's worth, we shared a chair with a guy from New Zealand who runs backcountry tours in the Nozawa Onsen area but did not catch a name. I think this may be the guy and his company. <br />http://canyons.jp/en/tours/winter/snow-sports-school/snow-sports-school-nozawa/backcountry<br />He seemed to know the area pretty well based on our chair lift convo. Also, the night before we arrived, early February of this year, Nozawa got a nice dumping of Japow, definitely worth the flight.

While they mostly do longer trips, they are great people (HQ in Bozeman) and would likely be willing to talk with you or recommend other day guides.
