Powdery snow, good snowfall, well-managed. There's a wide selection of ginger to eat at the accommodation. The onsen is good.

This trip is all in Japanese with Japanese tour members and bus driver. I was lucky to have guides who knew a little english to tell me about the necessary information on rentals and the ski resort. It was very neat as well as they put the vouchers of the rentals, lift and bus ticket in one bag. If you are a beginner and knows no or little Japanese, I do not recommend this. if you know how to ski and snowboard but dont really know Japanese, you can get by like me. The ski resort was really nice though with many slopes to offer! Had a lot of time and fun to snowboard!

The ski in/out access is very convenient, but although the hotel buildings are connected, the distance between them is a bit long. It takes about 700 steps to walk from building 6 to building 2. Next time, I might consider staying in a building closer to the middle.

It is a super great experience, bus was on time, the rental of the gear was also smooth, just be advised that when they say “ski suit” it doesn’t not includes gloves and goggles, just the pants, jacket, and boots which is fine. It was my first time snowboarding, with this package there is no instructor, so I watched a YouTube video and had fun. If you want a type of experience with coach then this is not it, I would say that this type of adventure is for those who already know how to snowboard and or ski and they just don’t have the gear available, or for the people that are willing to try by themselves

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.

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.

The ski equipment rental shop is conveniently located near the ski resort. Because it was snowing that day, the shop offered a ride, which was very thoughtful. The quality of the ski equipment was pretty good.

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! :)
