Japan Ski Vacation Packages

From Hokkaido to Rusutsu and Hakuba Valley, you’ll find some of the world’s best snow conditions in Japan. Book a Japan ski vacation package and get set to carve lines on the fluffiest powder hills.

Find your thrills at one of Japan’s most popular ski resorts, Niseko. It’s located in western Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, and is famous for its deep powder. Purchase the Niseko All Mountain Pass starting from 5,700 Japanese yen (around $44) and explore over 29 miles of groomed slopes across Niseko Village, An'nupuri, Hanazono and Niseko Mountain Resort Grand Hirafu. Also in western Hokkaido, Rusutsu Resort is perfect for escaping the crowds. Snowboarders will love zipping down the intermediate slopes at East Mountain while the West Mountain is perfect for finding your ski legs. No trip to Japan is complete without a soak in a traditional onsen bath, which you’ll find at Rusutsu, along with horseback riding and dog sledding. If you’re heading to the Hakuba Valley Ski Area, don’t miss Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort. It’s one of 10 resorts in Hakuba Valley and is popular among international travelers for its English ski lessons. When you’ve worked up a thirst, hit Tracks Bar for après-ski fun. For more Japan ski vacation package ideas, check out Furano Ski Resort and Kutchancho Asahigaoka Ski Area.

The property is nice, the onsen is a terrific feature and the staff were excellent and helpful with our many questions for inbound/outbound travel. However, for upwards of $400 per night, the dining options were rather basic and, given the hotel's somewhat remote location, the sporadic shuttle schedule and drop-off locations made the ski resorts somewhat of a challenge to reach.

Very nice hotel! Comfortable rooms that are very clean. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were excellent and well worth the add on fee. The onsen is nice but a bit small and they should leave the onsen open till 10 am in the morning so you can get breaky they take a last soak before 11 am checkout. Stayed in summer so the rates were very reasonable. They had construction going but the improved rooms were fantastic. There is a ski field right next door and you can ski right up to the hotel and they have ski lockers. If I skied I’d stay there. It is out of the way so you need a car, there is a bus but I highly suggest wheels. Overall very happy with my three nights there fishing the local rivers.

Rusutsu is enormous. The property layout is a puzzle, and while the amenities like the newly renovated onsen are a great perk, having to walk across the massive property to access 2 different elevators to get to rooms from the parking lot took away from the experience. The staff were exceptional but not expecting the attached theme park / merry go round inside the hotel made this an experience I would not book again. There is also a monorail connecting to the Westin across the street.

Planning your Japan ski vacation

What are some things I should consider when booking a Japan ski trip package?
