At Kammui, we believe in creating immersive experiences that support regional communities and preserve Japan's unique natural and cultural heritage.

We do this by curating authentic nature based experiences with local guides which connect you to local community and culture.

Our Founder

Kammui was founded by Max Mackee, who was born in Japan and grew up in Europe before falling in love with Japan’s natural landscapes through backcountry snowboarding. Inspired by the experiences he had, Kammui was born to foster a connection to and respect for nature, culture & local communities.
