The view of the slopes was fantastic. The room was adequately spacious. We love that each room had lockers for our ski gear. Of course, the best part of this hotel is that you can just walk out of the hotel straight to the ski lifts. Outside of skiing, it's convenient that we can just walk around ...

Sakae Ski Vacation Packages

Do it your way with one of our Sakae ski vacation packages. Whether you're looking for mountainside thrills, some relaxation at altitude or a bit of both, your perfect getaway begins with Expedia. Make the trip to Sakae from December to April and you'll discover about 9 runs operating at this renowned ski spot in Japan. There's at least one beginners' area where you can brush up on your technique before going downhill skiing. If you need some equipment, you can rent it at the ski village. There's also a spa and wellness center to make use of here. After a big day swooping down the slopes, your aching muscles will appreciate a relaxing massage and treatment. The kids will enjoy themselves on your family ski vacation in Sakae, with fun activities such as tobogganing, snow biking and snowboarding on offer too.

How To Get Around

If you've chosen one of our Sakae vacation packages, you'll likely be jetting into Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport. From here, it's two hours to travel to this renowned ski destination. From the center of Sakae, the ski slopes are around 15 minutes away by car and free parking is available. During winter months, it's a good idea to carry tire chains. Ensure your spot on the mountain by picking from season-pass, full-day and half-day ticket types. Another thing worth choosing is one of Expedia's Sakae ski package deals. Bundle your hotel, flights and car rental and enjoy a deluge of savings on your ski vacation.
