SKI JAPAN - CHECK OUT OUR JAPAN SKI PACKAGES

We introduced skiing in Japan to our programme last season and recently visited our two ski resorts in Japan to learn more about what they have to offer. Demand for Japan skiing is super high right now – so you have to book very early to secure your lodging.

Why ski in Japan?

When is the best month to ski in Japan?
Go early season for arguably the world’s best powder conditions, the fabled ‘Japow’ is frequently found between Dec-Feb.

It’s an ideal destination to mix skiing in Japan with a cultural taste of this fascinating country.

We can add on Tokyo or Kyoto hotels and train services to your Japan ski trip.

How much does it cost to go skiing in Japan?

Japan ski holidays are cheaper thn you think! When you’re there..the price of lift tickets, rentals and eating out is great value as the Yen has depreciated almost 50% in the last 5 years.

So are you ready to elevate your skiing experience? Japan's ski resorts - Hakuba Valley and Niseko - offer enthusiasts unparalleled powder snow, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural experiences. With the current favourable exchange rate, there's never been a better time to explore these iconic Japanese ski resorts.

JAPAN SKIING - SKI HAKUBA or SKI NISEKO?

What is the best ski resort in Japan? Good question..we've narrowed it down to two.

Hakuba ski resort Japan: A Skiing Wonderland
Nestled in the Japanese Alps, Hakuba Valley is more authentic Japan than Niseko and boasts over 200 runs across 10 resorts, featuring 135 lifts and extensive terrain parks. Whether you're carving through fresh powder or enjoying panoramic mountain views, Hakuba promises an unforgettable adventure. Beyond skiing, immerse yourself in local culture with activities like a visit to see the snow monkeys or immerse yourself in a local onsen (Japanese hot springs).

Niseko ski resort Japan: The Powder Capital
One of Hokkaido's ski areas, Niseko ski resort is famed for its consistent, light powder snow, attracting skiers from around the globe. Niseko ski resort has a long season - from late November to early April - ensures ample opportunity to enjoy its world-class slopes. 

Niseko ski resort is in essence one big mountain with four separate resorts located at it’s base.

The back country access skiing is the biggest draw where intermediate skiers can hire a local ski guide for the day and head off-piste to explore the tree lined terrain.

You can also ski at nearby Rusutsu, less than an hour away by bus. 

After a day on the mountain, unwind in one of Niseko’s renowned onsens or indulge in exquisite cuisine. Niseko ski resort lodging varies from small and friendly up to pure luxury that rival anything Vail or Aspen has to offer.
