The room is very large. The additional BUFFET is not recommended. The price is very expensive. Breakfast is 3000 and dinner is 7300. It is not recommended to purchase additional BUFFET.

If you don’t exclude mainland Chinese coaches, you can choose a coach which should be much cheaper than other Chinese coaches. However, boys from the Northeast speak louder and get used to it, haha.

The lessons were for my wife and 2 little kids and it was great. The whole arrangement was as, or even more than my initial expectations. The instructor was fantastic, communication was easy and clear prior to our visit, and we will probably use it again next year.

Coach Liu is very experienced. He immediately pointed out the problems and made rapid progress. Even inexperienced parents can control the direction instantly. At the same time, I pay attention to everyone's situation and recommend it.

Although the weather was a bit tough, we had a great time improving our skills through the private skiing class.

The teacher who came to teach was very good. His name was Jose, who was from Chile. He spoke well to both of our children. Make playing fun on both teaching days.

It is recommended to participate in this activity. The coach is patient and can communicate in English. You can choose different ski resorts. For beginners, it is recommended to go to Iwahara or Yuzawa Nakazato.

The coach arrived at the appointed place early and would not be impatient if we were accidentally late for a period of time. Although he did not follow the instructions every time, he was very professional~
