This trip was awesome! Our hotel was right in front of the lift and right next to some nice restaurants as well as a short walk to the gondola. I felt like there were courses for all levels and as a beginner, I loved the wide open course that there was in front of the hotel. I got to experience fresh powder both days and of course the festival!! We could watch the festival from warm in the hotel or outside. There was drumming, food, entertainment, and cool snow lamps. I can’t wait to go on this trip again. Highly recommend.
A solo snowboarding trip. This winter's second snowboarding adventure with TSC was, as always, well-organized and fun. It started snowing the night we arrived, so the bus took longer than expected. However, it didn't stop us from hitting the slopes early the next morning. Even though it was a solo snowboarding trip, I ran into friends from a previous trip, and it was great fun to snowboard together. Tsugaike has a super wide beginner slope, perfect for beginners to hone their skills. It was there that I first attempted to switch edges. Although it wasn't very smooth, it marked a satisfactory end to my first snowboarding season. Cortina is incredibly beautiful and made me feel like I was snowboarding in Europe. Once my skills improve, I'll definitely visit Cortina again. Next year, I'll join TSC again and continue to be a shredder girl. Don't hesitate! If you're thinking about going on a snowboarding or skiing trip, TSC is your best choice.
It’s been a few years since I’ve done a TSC trip, but it was still just as great as the past ones. I love how organized they are with handling logistics so I can just spend a fun, stress-free weekend skiing. This trip was timed perfectly with my vacation to Japan. The Tsugaike resort was wonderful and very beginner-friendly. Even though the traffic both ways on the trip was hectic and backed up, our group leaders did a great job with timing bathroom breaks and providing movies on the bus. The only qualm I have with this trip was the hassle of hauling my luggage from the bus to the hotel in the snow.
Loved the energy the Tokyo Snow Club team brings. Well organized and rentals were easy to get. Awesome experience! Would love to travel with TSC soon!!
Great trip with great hosts Fireworks were great and bar for the night out was good fun Well arranged day trip to Cortina too Looking forward to next seasons trip
My husband and I had maximum fun in this trip and were sad when it was over. It was our first time in Hakuba (we go skiing weekly to Fujiten, which is closer to our home)and Tokyo Snow Club made sure it was a fantastic trip. The trip organizers/leaders were amazing giving information/instructions about scheduling, time management and activities. REALLY recommend Tokyo Snow Club for super fun skiing/snowboarding trips!
All I can say is that everything was just perfect about this trip. It was my first time skiing, and I took free lessons from the TSC staff, which was very helpful. The fireworks were amazing and the party that followed was just cherry on top. The dinner and breakfast were also very delicious and were cooked separately for me because of my dietary restrictions. I had so much fun and made some great friends on the trip. I look forward to attending more fun trips with the Tokyo snow club!
A very sunny day on the first day, fireworks under snow fall (romantic!), snowboarding and Backcountry on the powder snow… Above all, staff members are very kind and super friendly. I can’t ask for more. The very best ending of our snowboarding in spring 2022! Can’t wait to join them for snowboarding in winter!
Highly memorable trip for many reasons: - the locations (enjoying 2 separate mountains in two days) - the memories (learning to use the front edge of my board thanks to Sensei Keiji’s lesson) - the accommodation and the food Great value and good company. Look forward to next snow season.
Had a great time. First time back on snowboard after 12 years. Green and red runs were just right for me. Dinner at hotel was great. Group event on Saturday was a lot of fun. Trip was well organized.
