The 3-hour skiing experience was great. I successfully rode the cable car once and skied down the mountain (it was reassuring to have an instructor nearby). I would love to come back and do it again.

This is a warm and thoughtfully managed hot spring inn. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the meals are exquisite and delicious. The hot springs are very hot and relaxing, but please be mindful of your personal health and don't soak for too long.

The location is amazing! The hotel is right across from the Zao Sanroku Station. The onsen is amazing! Guests can choose a private bath once, and enjoy it for fifty minutes. The meals are amazing! Breakfast and dinner are in private rooms, enjoying Kaiseki cuisine. It's close to the hot spring street and the Sanroku Station.

Thank you, Vincent, for the lesson! A super thorough and gentle explanation and practice of basic skiing concepts and techniques. He pays great attention to safety and tries his best to meet all requests/attempts. He also provides a lot of emotional support (constantly encouraging and praising) 😂. Even with bad weather, the skiing experience was perfect! After our 3-hour lesson, we all had a basic grasp of the snowplow, and we felt like we went from zero to being able to start enjoying skiing!

Bought this program for myself and 2 children. Our first experience skiing. Our instructor, Jay is very patient and professional. My children learned fast and managed to ski after the first class. Thumbs up.

The location is great, very close to the mountain base station. The hot springs are also very good, and the hotel staff are very friendly. Overall, highly recommended. (The photo is of the hotel dinner on the night of the stay.)

Met #CoachLiu at Zao Onsen Ski Resort this time. I was a little nervous about skiing at first, but Xiao Liu was very careful and patient in his guidance. His explanations were clear and simple. The whole process was completely stress-free, allowing me to get started right away. I quickly learned how to brake and turn on two skis in the morning, and in the afternoon, I was immediately doing continuous S-turns down the mountain. The sense of accomplishment was instantly maximized 😆 During the teaching process, he also pays attention to the students' conditions at all times, and the rhythm is just right. Very professional. The coach also helped take a lot of cool photos and videos. You can't take a bad picture with the snowy scenery of Zao 📸❄️ The overall experience was really worth it. If it's your first time skiing, or you want to learn safely and efficiently, you can't go wrong with Xiao Liu!
