Skiing Japan

Possessing what is widely considered to be the world's best lift access snow, Japan is well on its way to becoming a ski capital of the world. Having hosted two winter Olympics in Sapporo (1972) and Nagano (1998), Japan is continuing to receive world acclaim for its consistently deep and light powder, aka "Japow". Apart from its awesome powder, Japan also provides a uniquely great ski experience. In a land abounding with hot springs, excellent food and drink and a 5,000 year old culture, what could go wrong? If the snow doesn't have you coming back for more, Japan's culture, food and people certainly will! 

Follow the links below to discover some of Japan's best ski resorts and top regions for skiing in Japan. Get to know the ski capital of the world!

Ski Tohoku

Tohoku, located in the northern region of Japan's main island Honshu, is still relatively unknown in the ski world. With a nearly non-existent foreign presence, Tohoku will provide the most authentic Japanese experience, going beyond the ski resorts. ​
