Why Yamayama

Yama means mountain in Japanese. Yamayama started with a forest camp at the foot of Mount Asama in Karuizawa, and a ski camp at Madarao Mountain Resort in Iiyama. We love nature in all its seasons. Spring buds, summer blooms, autumn leaves and winter snow. 

Yamayama 山々 also means very much wanting to do something one cannot. We've done all the work designing these outdoor experiences for you and your kids. 

Now get out there!

“A kid today can likely tell you about the Amazon rain forest - but not about the last time he or she explored the woods in solitude, or lay in a field listening to the wind and watching the clouds move.” - Richard Louv, author of Last Child In The Woods
