Iwappara Ski Resort tours

We were supposed to go to Iwahara ski resort but it does not have much snow yet so the travel company arranged us to go to Gala Ski resort instead. We still end up having a great experience. The tour guide Frenkie was very active and knows the way around and how to maximize our time. The driver was also good and kept us safe throughout our journey. The transportation was very convenient and comfortable compared to the usual bus transport we have from our previous tours. The sled was free as part of the package. Overall it was a great value for money as well as a great first snow experience for my family.

It was an exciting and fun experience. Being able to experience snow and went to a ski resort were great. The tour guide is helpful and everything went smoothly. The bus was also clean. The trip to Yuzawa and back to Ueno is fast and on time. Overall, it was a valuable experience for our big family.

The trip was very good and well coordinated by Yoyo. She was always offering help and knowledgeable about the Iwappara on where to rent snow equipment and where to get food for lunch. Unfortunately, the bus provided was small and full so the group that brought small carry luggages made the bus very cramp. Hope the organizer can make sure ample comfortable bus next time.

transport came on time. driver so friendly and knowledgeable. reached safely. enjoying ride with some guide and assist us to drop at out last minute changes drop off place. thank you Mr zhang. xie xie nie. arigatok!

Our tour guide was David and he was amazing!! Gave some insights and recommendations. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji the whole trip and before we head back it started snowing which was an awesome experience.

Our tour guide Xi was nice, organised and gave good tips during the tour of where to go and what to try. His recommendations were spot on especially the egg pudding in Shiragawa. Get in early to get the original pudding to avoid disappointment. We managed to still get the coffee and custard and they were delicious! It snowed and was magical. Don't forget to wear appropriate footwear as sleet and water can get into your sneakers, otherwise we had the best day!

Highly recommended!!! 5-star service from him. Our first-ever Mt. Fuji tour with him was extremely the best! He's so kind, accommodating, so informative and he even took us some pictures in the Oishi Park which are so great. Most importantly he help us find my lost phone in the Uber taxi we booked going to the meeting location in the morning. It was supposed to be a stressful day for us thinking about my lost phone but so much thanks to him he assisted us in calling the company of the driver we rode the Uber since we can't speak Japanese. And yeah we found it! Can't thank him enough for his assistance and for making this trip a memorable one. Arigato Taiyo Igarashi! All the best! We hope to see you soon!

My Tour Guide was Mandy, she was very friendly and helpful, she speaks fluent English and Mandarin! She offered everyone to take their pictures (she’s very good at taking pictures!!! always say yes!!) Definitely recommend taking a Tour with her. I went on the Tour with the destinations Asahiyama Zoo, White beard waterfall, Ningle Terrace. The Ningle Terrace got canceled and replaced with the Blue Pond, due to weather conditions and limited Bus spots. This can happen any day unexpectedly, the Blue Pond was still nice but since it’s currently winter it was covered with snow and no blue was seen. Overall, happy with the Tour and definitely money worth!! My favorite was the Waterfall and the Penguin Walk at the Zoo!
