Ski Japan
Japan's snow fields draw skiers and boarders from all over the world. From first-timers to seasoned professionals, skiers consistently rave about the light, dry powder that blankets Japan for months on end. But that's just the start...
In addition to simply superb snow, Japan also promises inimitable food, rich culture and deep history. Images abound of of volcanic hot springs and snow monkeys, villages unchanged since feudal times, and of towering neon cities. And an unfailingly polite people. A ski holiday to Japan is a unique experience that satisfies at many levels.
Japan skiing is surprisingly reasonably priced. Peak season flights from London can be found for under £600. And on the ground Japan offers great value. Accommodation close to the slopes starts at £40 per person per night, with lift tickets from £30 per day, a hearty lunch can be had for £8 and an ale (or sake) for under £4. |

Support Japan
As those who have travelled to Japan will no doubt confirm, the people of Japan are incredibly welcoming and courteous, and are central to the Japanese holiday experience. As winter fast approaches, those working in Japanese ski fields are now preparing to open their doors to international skiers for the 2011/12 season.
The "Support Japan Ski Japan" campaign aims to provide assistance following the March 11 earthquake & tsunami by promoting awareness of, and facilitating easier access to, Japanese ski services. The campaign will also raise funds for the Japanese Red Cross Society. "Support Japan Ski Japan" is being implemented by the JNTO London Office and RoomBoss, a Japanese technology company that serves the ski industry.
