The snow is falling here in Niseko, the season is in full swing, and the mountains of Hokkaido are calling. As we move through winter and head into the new year, we’re excited to share the next evolution of who we are.
In 2026, Sea And Summit Media becomes Sea And Summit Collective. A rebrand timed to mark a new chapter, a fresh season, and a more connected way of working. The Collective brings together guiding, adventure, photography, filmmaking, and storytelling under one name, reflecting what we’ve grown into and where we’re heading next.
Born in Niseko amid dramatic mountain backdrops and deep powder snow, and shaped by years of exploring, photographing, filming, and guiding across Hokkaido, Sea And Summit Collective is a team of creatives and guides working together to craft unforgettable experiences and visual stories of life and adventure in Japan’s northern frontier.
Guiding + Photography & Adventure Experiences
From early-morning resort laps to untouched backcountry, our guides know where to find the best snow on any given day, hidden powder stashes waiting to be discovered, and the terrain that makes every turn unforgettable. Every adventure is tailored to your skill and experience level, safe, and designed to let explore the the mountains with us at your own pace. While you carve your lines through pristine snow, our photographers and videographers are capturing every moment. Every turn, jump, spill, thrill, and smile becomes a memory in professionally edited images and video edits that bring the day to life long after you depart our winter wonderland.
Mechanized Backcountry Adventures
For those with a desire for more adventure, more powder and more vert, we combine snowmobile-assisted backcountry guiding or cat-skiing, with dynamic visual captures from dreamy, mountain locations away from the main resort areas.
Commercial Media Production and Destination Marketing
Beyond the slopes, Sea And Summit Collective partners with resorts, tourism organizations, outdoor brands, accommodation providers, magazines, travel companies, and local businesses, to create authentic stories and marketing campaigns that connect with audiences and draw visitors from around the globe to visit Hokkaido and experience a destination like no other.
The launch of Sea And Summit Collective in the new year marks a deliberate step forward, continuing our journey of crafting unforgettable mountain experiences for our guests and creating powerful visual stories for our commercial clients and brand partners, all inspired by one of the world’s most remarkable travel destinations.
