Winter Arc
Matsumoto

March 23 (Sun)

spanning two weeks.

What is the
Winter Arc
Matsumoto?

Embracing personal growth during winter,
becoming a new version of yourself for the season ahead.

  • Build Station
    in Matsumoto

    Just a 2.5-hour train ride from Tokyo, the elegant city of Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture offers an ideal environment to focus on your work. During the second and main week, leaders from the Solana ecosystem will mentor founders and builders on strategies to excel in the Solana Global Hackathon in April 2025.

  • Ski / Snowboarding
    in Hakuba

    Over the weekend, we’ll head to Hakuba, Japan’s top powder destination and host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, for skiing and snowboarding together.

  • Fan Community activities
    in Tokyo

    The first week kicks off in Tokyo, where most participants live or are arriving. Let’s take our time recovering from jet lag and connect with friends from the Solana ecosystem in Tokyo.

Why
Matsumoto
City?

Located in the center of Nagano Prefecture, Matsumoto City boasts a great location, being about a 2.5-hour drive from Tokyo.
