Japan
New for this season: Japan joins our long-haul ski destinations!
Japan has quickly become a favourite among international skiers since the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998. With its incredible snow conditions, modern ski resorts, and rich cultural heritage, it’s the perfect addition to our long-haul school ski programme.
Why Choose Japan for a School Ski Trip?
Japan’s ski resorts are world-renowned for their exceptional snowfall, with some areas receiving up to 20 metres of powder snow per season. Combine that with state-of-the-art facilities, warm hospitality, and a culture unlike anywhere else, and you’ve got the ultimate school ski adventure.
Tokyo Stopover: A Cultural Deep Dive
Before heading to the slopes, all our groups enjoy a city stopover in Tokyo, the world’s largest metropolis. This vibrant city offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore neon-lit streets, peaceful temples, and the fascinating contrast between ancient traditions and modern innovation.

This unique blend makes time spent off the mountain just as memorable as the skiing itself, offering students a deeper connection to the country and its people.
