As Olympians and World Cup skiers know well, Japan offers some of the best skiing in the world! With mountains covering most of the archipelago, there are hundreds of resorts with easy and relatively quick access from Tokyo or just about anywhere else in the country. Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, is particularly renowned for its spectacular powder snow, consistent and heavy snowfall, and great variety of terrain and runs. The resorts and hotels in Hokkaido (especially the ones used in these tours) are world-class and provide something for everyone, from the experienced veteran to the shaky-kneed first-timer. Off the slopes, you can enjoy other winter activities and the amenities of your hotel, like a nice soak in a hot spring or bath with a view of the beautiful, snow-covered landscape. It's a great way to relax and recuperate after a hard day's ski!
