Your Japanese Ski Connection
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to the magical world of winter in Japan!
Did you know that about 80% of Japan's landscape is mountainous? While most ski resorts in Japan may be smaller than those in places like Vail, Colorado, don’t let the size fool you. Japan offers world-class powder snow, natural hot springs (onsen), incredible food and drink, and a unique cultural experience that sets it apart. I truly believe you’ll love the full Japanese skiing experience—and I can’t wait to help you discover it!
Warm regards,
Jimi Omori Founder, Japan Ski Club
