Skiing and snowboarding on Mt.Fuji

Skiing and snowboarding on Mt.Fuji

Japan is world-class ski and snowboard destination
which has high-quality powder snow!

The lift ticket is not so expensive, and there are also very reasonable sets
of lift ticket and accommodation, renting gear, or transportation in some places.

Especially northern Japan has plenty of big snow resort with the best condition.

We don’t have big one around our shop, but there are
2 snow resorts on Mt.Fuji, so today I’ll introduce them.

Skiing and snowboarding around Mt.Fuji

Fujiten Snow Resort

Fujiten Snow Resort is located in Yamanashi.

The Fujiten Snow Resort is 12Km from Kawaguchiko interchange.
The resort boasts an outstanding location, overlooking the majestic Mt. Fuji.
The 4 lifts and 7 courses are rich in variety. The snow park which is equipped
with various items is also very popular. At ‘Chibikko (kids) Island’, which has one of
the largest sledging slopes in the Kanto Region, kids can enjoy skiing and playing the snow safely.

Christmas and new year event.. and they have special discount then!

Also, I recommend you to go to “onsen” – hot spring after skiing or snowboarding!
Your body is very cold after skiing or snowboarding,
so you may feel it’s paradise to make your body warm in onsen!

Enjoy skiing and snowboarding on Mt.Fuji!
