Inside this book

Everything you need for Japan Ski & Snowboard.

Japan gets some of the deepest, lightest snow on Earth, carried in by winter winds from Siberia. Pair the powder with hot springs, village inns and winter festivals and you have one of the great ski trips in the world.

This guide takes you resort by resort across Hokkaido and Honshu, with the best runs for every level, onsen towns, the snow monkeys and winter festivals, and the planning that makes a Japan ski trip work.
