Time for Some Winter Fun! The Best Leisure Spots in Japan to Enjoy the Snowy Season

To make the most of winter in Japan, experiencing pure white snow is a must. This is also the time to enjoy beautiful silver winter wonderlands by having fun playing in the snow and enjoying winter sports.

Skiing is the perfect winter activity! In Japan, many ski resorts are accessible even without a car. What's more, lots of places offer equipment rentals and special family-friendly play zones where families can relax and have fun safely. Here are our recommendations. ♪

GALA Yuzawa/Niigata Prefecture

The closest station and ski center with direct access from Tokyo is GALA Yuzawa, a major ski resort that's as little as 75 minutes by shinkansen (bullet train) away from Tokyo. At GALA Yuzawa, of course there is skiing, but it's also possible to experience more unusual winter activities such as trekking through snowy landscapes wearing traditional Japanese snowshoes called "kanjiki"! With interpreters available in English, Mandarin, and Thai, GALA Yuzawa's ski school is perfect for those who want to learn skiing techniques!
