Some people have been asking me for information about skiing in Japan, so I’m putting together a little guide.
There are tons of snow-focused sites and sources out there that will have more in-depth and more knowledgeable information for serious snowboard and ski enthusiasts, but I just thought I’d share some honest information I’ve gathered from my time snowboarding and travelling in Japan.
First off, here’s a Beginner’s Guide of what to expect and why you should go snowboarding or skiing when you’re in Japan:
