 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi!
I am planning to travel solo to Japan end of this year 27th Dec 2025 to 2nd Jan 2026 to learn to ski/snowboard. I have booked my air ticket to land in Tokyo.
Without any prior knowledge, I am looking for advise on recommended resort and ski/snowboarding school where I can pick up the skill. That is not too crowded or expensive.
I did some research, seeing that Hakuba is crowded, maybe I will avoid Nagano area and looking for somewhere around Niigata.
If anyone have prior experience, insights are much appreciated.

You're planning to travel at the most expensive and busiest time.
Can you change your dates?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Unfortunately these are the dates that I am less busy at work. I understand that it will be peak, that is also why, I try my best to plan it properly and do more advance research to ensure savvy spending

Great picks, Gala Yuzawa and Iwappara are solid beginner-friendly spots with easy access from Tokyo.
