Set on the main island of Honshu, this ski safari has the perfect balance of skiing and culture. A bullet-train ride from Tokyo, many of the ski resorts near Nagano City are accessible on Japan's excellent rail network. Some journeys can take up to half a day, creating a sense of adventure that really adds to the experience.
With huge variety, the main ski area of Hakuba Valley has ten shuttle-linked resorts all offering something special. Nozawa Onsen is a cultural immersion with its traditional accommodation, cobbled streets and hot springs plus superb intermediate powder terrain.
Depending on your preference, we can recommend the best places for piste-skiing and powder, and it’s also worth taking a day out to visit the famous Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park. Finishing with a night or two in Tokyo is another essential Japanese experience.
"Each of these resorts offers a very individual experience that’s not to be missed. For a culture and skiing combination, Nagano is fantastic."
