This trip was so much fun! I met a lot of cool, new people and finally got back out to some gorgeous powder snow, after ages away. It was the perfect re-introduction to get my 'snow-legs' back, and actually be social. The guides were awesome; very informative, and super supportive, even, and maybe especially, when we were being dumb. My friend left her snowboard at the hotel, and I didn't notice until we got to the slopes. It was a whole ridiculous thing of sharing my board during the lesson. But, our instructors, Robin and Diane were super helpful, though hilariously flabbergasted by the situation.
Hakuba was really gorgeous! And the festival, with the multiple taiko performances and fire dancing were quite the treat! Also, though we weren't there most of the time, the hotel staff catered to our needs brilliantly. They were so careful about everyone's dietary restrictions. It was admirable.
All the staff, including the bus staff were really great, including long after the trip had passed. I lost something valuable on the way back, and everyone pitched in to search for it. It wasn't found, but I'm super appreciative of the effort anyway. Looking forward to another excursion with the lovely folks of TSC! I'll definitely be more mindful of my accoutrements next time! Cheers guys!

Fi / Naeba Powder Weekend / 2024-03-27
This was my first trip with Tokyo Snow Club and my expectations were exceeded!
It quickly became apparent that TSC was very experienced in organizing these trips. Everything was thought of and communication was on point. We arrived on time at the hotel, which was very simple but had everything we needed. A highlight is definitely the hotel's own onsen, which is really relaxing after a day on the slopes. I personally found the breakfast and dinner to be delicious and varied. It was easy to make friends and find like-minded people with similar skill lev. In my case, I took the beginner's class, so I usually sticked to other beginners. But there were also a lot of experienced people there who went out on more difficult tracks together. There was something for everyone. Needlessly to say everyone was super friendly and helpful. Looking forward to join another TSC trip soon!
Amazing 6th trip with Tokyo Snow Club. Had an absolute blast with the hosts and the other fun and amazing people we met. If you’re looking for the most fun and affordable way to ski in Japan this is it!!

Epic Weekend at Shiga Kogen with Tokyo Snow Club! ❄️
An amazing 2-day ski trip to Shiga Kogen with Tokyo Snow Club, and I couldn't recommend it more to someone who hasn't tried skiing before especially! The whole experience was fantastic - from the comfortable travel arrangements to the perfectly located hotel
The Organizers and the Ski/Snowboarding experts gave wonderful training to beginners, solid basics and valuable learning session.
Highlights:
Powder Paradise: Shiga Kogen lived up to the hype! Perfect snow conditions made carving down the slopes a dream.
Monkey Magic: Visiting the Snow Monkey Park was an unforgettable experience. Seeing those monkeys soaking in the hot springs was incredible!
Convenience King: The trip was so well organized - everything from transportation to meals was taken care of, leaving me free to focus on enjoying the place and ambience.
Looking forward to another ahead with TSC.
