I'll buy it again! The ticket machine at the base of the mountain already allows redemption, and Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort is huge! The slopes are wide, and I had a great time skiing! It's perfect for practicing! I love the gondola the most.

Thank you to the coach for your dedication and attentiveness today! From putting on the equipment to skiing posture and many small details, the family really enjoyed learning and experiencing the fun of skiing. We look forward to the next skiing opportunity.

Convenient to purchase and cheaper than the official website, but note that it is not immediately usable. The ticket exchange machine outside the ski resort's visitor center is also very quick for exchanging tickets!

The instructors are young, energetic, and excellent at teaching. They divide classes based on skill level, so you don't have to worry about falling behind. The instructors will also help you take photos, so you can take home happy memories.

Everything was so well organized. So my wife and I decided to come to Yuzawa for snowboarding, we both are newbies. As soon as we submitted the booking, we received email contact from the ski school’s representative, Patrick, was very informative and gave us many useful advices on how to prep ourselves (1st time going to Yuzawa). He told us which snow resorts were suitable for beginners, gear rental info etc. I him questions (1st time going to Yuzawa). In the end we decided on Nakozato Snow Resort. On the day of the lesson, we had Vendy as our instructor. Vendy was super nice, experienced and patient. We spent sometime practicing on the magic carpet, then soon we took the lift and snowboarded down the green line. With just some pointers here and there, Vendy even helped me to successfully improved my turning skills, I was able to performed “Toe side turning” on the snowboard multiple times~ Yay! :)

This ticket was super easy to purchase compared to some other sites i've used before. Plus it is valid at pretty much all the resorts in the Yuzawa area so I can be real flexible with deciding where I want to go on the day. It's valid rigfht thru the winter season. I've already got another up my sleeve to use when the conditions are perfect.

Enjoy the flexibility of purchasing either full-day or 4-hour lift tickets depending on your schedule. Purchase today and redeem at the ski resort the next day for ultimate convenience.

Purchasing the cable car ticket one day in advance for use the next day is very convenient. It allows for flexible adjustments based on activity time, with options to buy all-day or 4-hour cable car tickets.
