At the group bus gathering place at Sapporo Station, there will be someone holding a sign for one-day tours around 8 o'clock to ask questions. There will be many different groups at the same time, so you need to confirm carefully. After getting on the bus, you will drive for an hour to the equipment storage area to pick up equipment and change clothes, and then take about an hour's drive to Asarigawa Ski Resort. There will be a simple lesson in the morning, and you will continue in the afternoon after eating at a restaurant at your own expense. Once you are proficient, you can use the magic carpet to go uphill. Skiing further down is a good experience. The overall skiing time is about 3-4 hours. It may be close to 7 o'clock when we return to Sapporo. If you have an itinerary later, it will be safer to go later.

The coach provides 1-on-8 instruction and carefully informs each student of the areas that can be optimized. Go to the place where you change your snow clothes early in the morning (the drive takes about 1 hour). After changing your equipment, drive 40 minutes to the ski resort. I skated for 1 hour in the morning, ate for 1 hour at lunch, and skated for 2 and a half hours in the afternoon. The overall experience was good😄

The cable car up is small and swing with the wind but we safely arrived. The top was filled with snow and view is fantastic. You can observe the town beneath from the hill top or from the restaurant.

I have been to other skiing tours, and I can only say that this one is particularly excellent. I forgot the list of instructors. The instructor in blue and green is super serious in teaching and treats every student with care. I highly recommend it. We are participating on 12/21 Regarding the itinerary, I must give this coach big points. He couldn’t be more excellent. I hope I can arrange more time for skiing next time. I had a good experience in this skiing trip. I like it.

Had a great time! By the end I was even able to make it down the mountain without falling off my Snowboard! And we were lucky with the weather too!

Chartering your own car gives you the freedom. You can decide your own itinerary and how long you want to stay. You don’t have to catch a train like you would with a tour group. You just have to take a photo and get on the bus as soon as possible. If the air tickets are easy to get, the van may actually be better than the tour group in five days. Still a good deal

The teacher's teaching is patient and good, but the equipment is old and the snow goggles smell. Those who want to experience skiing can take part, but it is not recommended for those with mysophobia.
