Ann C   
From the very first moment we started communicated with Japan Ski, with Ben, we felt extremely well taken care of. He was attentive, patient with us, and promptly answered all of our questions. He was also very good at offering choices to us that would suit both us and our younger children for their first time skiing. We were given amazing accommodation, transfers, and impeccable service throughout out one week stay with Ski Japan in Grand Hirafu. There was a whatsapp number you could always get in touch with someone, and they would always help and reply promptly. They organized all of our transfers, ski lifts and gave us great recommendations for ski schools and equipment rentals. We are already looking forward to return next season and make this an annual trip with our family with Japan Ski! 10 out 10!
Bruce J   
Excellent response to every question and changes we had prior to our departure. Nice summary of trip details provided 2 weeks prior to departure. Unit we had was beautiful and convient to slope and restaurants. All aspects of the trip from arrival in Sapporo to multiple bus/hotel transfers were seamless. We are already planning to book for next year and will definitely use Japan Ski Experience again.
Michelle C   
HI Japan Ski Experience, just wanted to thankyou for our amazing holiday. We have only just returned but already I am dreaming of our next one. Your service was so good and our accommodation so amazing that we have all said we will never book with anyone but Japan Ski Experience again. It is always a bit stressful booking on behalf of a larger group, but from the moment I first made enquiries to the moment we were dropped off at the train station at the end of the trip nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything we asked for was done from luggage drop offs, ski rental drop offs, grocery pick ups, Snow Monkey tour, personal return of a lost phone (thankyou!!), booking help with taxis etc etc. The list goes on. We are so grateful to you all. THANKYOU, from Michelle Campbell & everyone else in the group!
Chen K   
As a novice going on his first ski trip, Japan ski experience helps me alot on my logistic and preparation for this trip. Any questions I have was promptly answered and helpful suggestion was also given to assist me. I would highly recommend Japan ski experience to anyone looking for a great winter holiday in Japan! See ya guys next year!
Natalie J   
Booking process easily managed even though we changed dates and booked with different group sizes. Moving from a 3bed to a 5bed house mid way was seamless. Ski Japan managed logistics on the ground and where fantastic, helping us out when snow caused the train to be cancelled.
Willem S   
Excellent experience helping us not only book the right accommodation and transport for us (beautiful studio room with private coach on arrival and bus on departure) but also coordinated things and checked in along the way so when our flights got changed we still had a taxi and when we were leaving our hotel got us right to the bus stop right on time. great experience 10/10 can't recommend highly enough!
Kieran O   
The Japan Ski Experience are super stars! We have used them for 5+ Japan ski trips and all have been awesome. Pricing is competitive, accomodation quality is excellent and the service from the team is amazing. I ran into a few issues last year and they couldn't help me enough. Thanks so much and can't wait till next year!
Darren H   
We have always found JSE to be extremely helpful and professional from picking us up and dropping us at the welcome centre to answering our emails promptly. We would highly recommend booking your next snow holiday with them as we have done so for 8 years and we have no complaints with them whatsoever. We fully intend to book our next snow holiday with them next year.
Sarah B   
Japan Ski Experience provided great support for booking our first holiday in Japan. We were not familiar with the area, nor the accommodation options. They provided sound advice, which enabled us to chose the best spot for our base. They also made booking skis, transfers, passes etc very simple for people who had not skied in Japan before. They're also really friendly!
Katie B   
From the moment we made our first enquiry, nothing was too difficult. Our entire trip was perfect in its execution from the pick up at the airport to our ski hire and passes to our accommodation and taxi back to Sapporo. Thank you for your efficiency and flexibility, Duncan and Japan Ski Experience.
Rene B   
We had Justine Anbeek help us organized the whole ski part of our trip to Japan and she did an exceptional job. Everything worked perfectly. She even helped us organize part of our time in Tokyo and provided information in general on Japan. I do not think we would have been able to have such a wonderful vacation without her and I cannot thank her enough. Japan is not an easy trip to plan and having someone going above and beyond her duties is truly appreciated. The website for the bookings and the payment was also easy to use. Overall, this is a perfect 10 for us on Justine and Japan Ski Experience!
Richard C   
Seamless travel! Everything from hotel booking, to rental booking to ski passes and ski lessons were perfectly arranged so we just had to show up and enjoy our holiday. There was no fussing over any complications. Japan Ski Experience arranged everything perfectly.
Jeanie O   
Thanks to Justine and the JSE team for the fantastic advice, patience and support in organizing our Hakuba ski trip. Having our gear fitting, lessons and dinner reservations booked in advance, worked out really well and helped saved us precious time. Thanks all for the recommendations and coordination. We had a fantastic time and Kudos to the JSE team!
Gary Y   
Great one stop service for all your travel needs from accommodation to transfers, equipment rentals and even private drive for day tour. Very responsive in getting back to queries. Good alternative suggestions and recommendations. Overall a great experience and a hassle free holiday.
Madeline S   
Japan Ski Experience was very easy to work with. All of my enquiries were responded to very quickly and personally. Duncan was my main point of contact and he was very friendly and helpful. And the website that I used to arrange for all components of our trip (lift tickets, ski school, transport, etc.) was user friendly and efficient.
Ricky Y   
I have such a great experience for my first ever Japan ski trip. Japan Ski experience company has done a fantastic job to hire such a great team. Just to name a few team members I dealt with - Sarah, Justine, and someone from Guest service... all made my trip an awesome one that I will go back again and use Japan Ski Experience for accommodation, lift pass, lesson bookings.... Super awesome and high recommended. Also a big Thank You to the team. You all did a fantastic job to help customers like me.

Why Skiing in Japan

Once a well-kept secret, international skiers and snowboarders have learned that Japan offers some of the finest snow in the world, thanks to its consistently light, dry powder. From the mountains of Honshu to the northern island of Hokkaido, Siberian weather systems deliver snow in remarkable quantities across Japan’s ski regions. Given that many visitors come to Japan for reasons other than skiing and snowboarding, it often comes as a surprise that a typical Japan ski season rivals – and frequently exceeds – North America’s best resorts for both snow quality and volume. With more ski areas in Japan than any other country, there is an exceptional range of destinations and an equally wide choice of places to stay, making Japan one of the most diverse and rewarding countries for ski accommodation.
