Ski Japan Holidays: What Are The Basics Of Skiing In Japan

Most Japan Ski Holidays start off from Sapporo, a city up in the North part of Japan.

A good point in favor of Japan Ski Packages is that your Ski holiday will be enriched by getting to know this lovely traditional area of Japan, including it’s unique culture, food, and people.

Niseko

is known as the powder skiing capital of the Hokkaido district.

It is one of the most famous Ski resorts in Japan for the consistency of the powder and the amount of snowfall it receives. The average snow depth by February is 3.5 meters.

Mt Yohtei makes an impressive background to the village. Some say its shape resembles Mt Fuji.

The village is a fascinating mix of traditional and new Japan. It boasts of traditional bars (Izakaya) and traditional inns (Ryokan) as well as modern hotels and nightclubs. Niseko also offers 16 hot spring Onsens (Traditional Japanese bath-houses), a great way to re-energize and soothe the tired body.

Asahidake Ski Resort

Asahidake Ski Resort is the highest mountain in

Hokkaido (2,290m) and a live volcano. Its conical-shaped volcano makes a striking setting for the ski area. It sends out a stream of smoke from time to time.

I am told the powder here is considered among the finest in the world and will not disappoint even the most accomplished skiers.

Niseko and Asahikawa are very cold in January and February. The average daytime temperature in the mountains could get to -12 to -20 degrees Celsius, although colder days of -30 degrees Celsius are also possible.

Another famous Ski Japan Holiday Resort in Hokkaido is Kamui, which sits in a valley that is situated perfectly for gathering snow.

When Is The Best Time To Ski In Japan?

Powder season is from mid-December until the end of February

One of the best ways to enjoy Japan Ski Season is to go outside the ski area boundaries into the less visited areas for some great powder skiing.

In case of bad weather, Moiwa (at the far end of the ski district) is the backup option.
