Skiing and Snow Boarding
Hey Clem Just wanted to write and say we had the most amazing time in Japan. It was so diverse everything we did. We loved the hotel in Kyoto great position and so nice….we felt grubby arriving there with a backpacks after a week snowboarding and staying in a hostel. Everything with the transfer and JR Pass was easy to work out. The Mt Fuji trip […]

Hi Clem, We had a great time in Japan – thank you for your organisation – everything went well. Snow depth 260cm which is great, no tow queues, fantastically good; except a couple at the weekends. Skiing conditions: Shiga Kogen, could not ask for better snow or better grooming. Suited us fine as we could ski from one area to the next. Accommodation: […]

Hi Yoshi, Just wanted to say thank you for organising our holiday to Japan. We loved Japan. Had a great holiday and enjoyed every minute we were away. We loved Tokyo and the skiing in Zao. You were right, there was lots of snow. Going on the trains worked out really well. We found the Japan pass really good and easy to organise seats […]

Hi Olivia, We are back now from a highly enjoyable ski trip to Myoko. Everything went really well. My only piece of feedback for new travellers is to take the phone number for the Myoko tourist office with them (they have english speakers). We got stuck in Nagano because the trains were not running to Myoko because of heavy snow. I placed a call to […]

Dear Ryoko,I have just returned from an exciting and blissfully indulgent holiday in Japan. I was overwhelmed by its beauty, its cultural richness, its varied, delicious and healthy cuisine, by the remarkable efficiency with which everything ran, and by the exceptional level of service and the generous hospitality of the Japanese people. Japan is extremely safe, with the only damage from the earthquake (for which the […]

Hi Melina, Thanks again for the itinerary and info it was greatly appreciated.If I could offer one bit of constructive criticism though.The shuttle system seems to work best from narita-hakuba as our trip home involved shuttle-bus-train-train which as it looks simple on paper with ski gear and luggage (it’s very hard to travel light with ski gear), the trains dont really offer storage for gear as […]

Good Morning Hideko Just a short e-mail to let you know that Chris & I had a great time at Hakuba even though we didn’t get a lot of powder snow. All your travel documentation and directions were extremely helpful and it made things very easy to find our way. Both the accommodation at in Tokyo and Hakuba was of a high standard and most impressed […]

Lily, I just wanted to say thank you for making our initial booking for our trip to Japan. We had a wonderful time and will definitely ski in Shiga Kogen again. The Sunroute was a great venue and I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Japan. They always had someone available to help with English and their setup for meals was ideal for […]

Lily,The Japan Ski trip was excellent. Great powder days ….. better than Whistler or Aspen and Vail (our previous ski trips). No issues with the bookings and tour arrangements…. all went better than expected. We preferred Niseko to Rusutsu. Niseko had more of a ski village feel / atmosphere.The snow was good to excellent. The Kogen Hotel was very convenient to all facilities as well as […]

Hideko All went well and we really enjoyed it. Snow in Canada wasn’t as good as normal. However, Niseko made up for it. Plenty of snow, and clear days (or part days). Perfect weather. JAL was very good as usual, and the Hilton was very good. We will definitely go back to Niseko and stay at the Hilton. It seems to be in a quieter area […]
