Your base A hotel or an old Japanese house
Yatsugatake, Nagano · 2 hours from Tokyo
Two hours from Tokyo. Snow all winter. Almost nobody there.
Yatsugatake is a range of highlands in Nagano, two hours from Shinjuku on a single train. Thirteen small ski areas, dry snow from December to March, and none of the queues you get at Niseko or Hakuba. We book the base, drive you everywhere, and put a coach on the snow with you — you can arrive knowing nothing about skiing and it still works.
Snow out the front door.
One base. We do all the driving.
You take one train out of Tokyo and we meet you at the station. After that every transfer is ours — the daily run to the slopes, the onsen and old-town days, and the ride out at the end.
You ski here Quiet beginner slopes
You rest here Onsen and old towns
The hours that are not on snow still count.
Tell us when, and who has never skied.
We build the week around your group — your dates, how many of you, how many have never stood on skis. Send us that and we will send back a plan with a price on it.
