NAGANO SKI TRIPS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 ski trips justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to packing thermals.
Spend about 10 days skiing Nagano with Japan Powder Culture Tours, led by Jase and his guide team. You get private transport, breakfast, lift passes, instruction, cultural shows, karaoke, and visits to snow monkeys, temples, castles, and hot springs. The trip suits fit skiers who want powder, local culture, and less time arranging daily logistics.
Meet your English or Chinese-speaking guide at Nagano Station before 7:45, then ride about 80 minutes to a selected ski resort. Your package includes skis or a snowboard, boots, clothing, helmet, goggles, gloves, and a lift pass. Add a two-hour beginner lesson, ski for several hours, eat lunch at your own cost, and return to Nagano Station in the evening.
“The ski activity was remarkable. Everything was well organized and clear. Orlando, the tour guide, was specially very nice and polite. He did everything possible to make our experience the best ever. I would definitely book the activity again!”
Meet Ride Shiga in Shiga Kogen for a private four-hour ski or snowboard lesson. Your instructor can focus on first-day basics or targeted coaching in race and carving, freestyle, freeride, or moguls. Equipment, clothing, lift pass, and lunch cost extra, so plan those details before you arrive.
“Very good and supportive. I would recommend to everyone. Me and my son enjoyed skiing very much. The trainer is very good, skillful and helpful.”
Meet at Nagano Station at 7:40 am for a roughly 9-hour-50-minute ski day. Snow Monkey Resorts supplies transport, skis or a snowboard, boots, clothing, helmet, goggles, gloves, and a lift pass. The resort is chosen for snow conditions, often including Shiga Kogen. Optional two-hour lessons are available, and guides such as Shawn or Orlando help you get set up.
“We did the ski tour with Shawn, he was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and a great person to chat too. We also had Mr Fujisawa as a driver, he was great, the ride was smooth and my kids that get motion sickness experienced none of that even on the windy roads.”
By country, by kind of day, by how much snow you have skied before.
