Reviews
We have very good Skiing instructor, Harima san. He is very professional, patient, helpful and cheerful. He help us to get all rental equipment and clothing. We leran a lot from him and we enjoyed the lesson.
In just three days, Leo helped me go from not even knowing how to properly put on the ski equipment to genuinely enjoying skiing on the slopes. This transformation would not have been possible without his patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism. He explained every technique clearly, corrected my movements carefully, and most importantly, encouraged me constantly. Even when I was nervous or unsure, he remained calm and supportive, which gave me the confidence to keep trying. Because of him, skiing has become something I truly enjoy rather than something intimidating. The course was absolutely worth it, and I am very grateful for such a positive learning experience. Please extend my thanks to him — he is a wonderful instructor and a great representative of your school.
We arrived 1.5 hours earlier to rent and put on the snow wear. The staff from rental shop would prepare the equipment for you. The quality is good. The instructions were not very clear but there would be a staff from the YUZAWA INTERNATIONAL PRO SNOW SCHOOL to pick you up eventually from the shop so waiting inside the shop is fine. The staff drove us to the Iwappara Ski Resort and met the coach. He introduced the coach from Taiwan to us. The staff and the coach are nice and friendly. We did some warm up and learned how to use the snowboard and the basic skills. We enjoyed the lesson and it was a good experience for beginners.
We got an English speaker instructor name Andy, I believe he is from Taiwan who works here. He is the best instructor with all the basic skills and very patiently teaching us. hopefully will get to meet him again next year and will continue using this serious as it is very convenient. They even offer us pick up at the train station with return trip too.
We are two people with zero skiing experience and participated in the 2026/01/29 course. We are very grateful to Coach Duck for his patience and attentive guidance from putting on the equipment to the end of the lesson. Highly recommended. The course was arranged by the local ski company Yuzawa International Ski School. We suggest the company improve the way students identify and meet their instructors. It's hard to find the instructor in the vast snow based on just a headshot. Fortunately, the instructor found us.
Highly recommend!!! Great for beginners, and easy to get to from Tokyo. I especially recommend Kiki-sensei, she's a fantastic teacher!! I want to come again next time.
This skiing trip was so lucky to have such an amazing instructor ⛷️✨ Thank you to instructor Syo Inoue, whose teaching was very serious, meticulous, and patient. He explained things clearly and was very good at guiding us, helping us improve a lot! The most touching thing was that the instructor always encouraged us in a very warm way, so even when we fell, we didn't feel frustrated, but rather more confident to continue challenging ourselves. Thank you so much for your company and guidance, allowing us to leave with wonderful skiing memories 🙏 Syo Inoue is an awesome instructor! 🌟 Also, the entire trip, including transportation and snow gear rental, is highly recommended!!!
The price includes equipment rental, ski resort shuttle, and lessons. The shuttle and instructors were punctual. Even when faced with our family of beginners, Coach Xiaozhu was very patient. The two-hour lesson was fulfilling. Although the time was short and we only learned the basics, my family was already full of praise.
My first snowboarding experience, I had absolutely no experience. The instructor started with the basics, was very patient, and changed the teaching method to address my mistakes. It was difficult to grasp at first, but I started to get a feel for it later on. It's not easy, and 2 hours doesn't seem like enough! I'll choose a 6-hour course next time!
The AI instructor is very good at teaching. You can really learn the falling leaf technique on the hillside for snowboarding in one day. The ski school's included helmets, snow boots, and snowboards are also of stable quality, and the pick-up and drop-off are very punctual.
