    Hoshino TOMAMU Resort Ski Resort is a place where everyone from beginners to advanced skiers can enjoy skiing. The snow here is very light and you can enjoy super dry powder snow. The ski resort here has courses from beginner to advanced, so it is suitable for both children and adults! Another place that everyone loves is the "1 Ice Dessert Shop" in the Ice and Snow Village! I highly recommend that you bring your family here to experience the ice and snow world!

    Hokkaido has ski resorts everywhere. Starting from Sapporo, Sapporo International is good in terms of distance and quality of ski slopes, and the scenery at the top of the mountain is also very beautiful. The 2.5-hour coaching course for 2 people is very cost-effective. I met Aya, a coach from Formosa, who taught us very carefully, especially reminding us where the movements were deformed during the process of leading us to ski, which gave us a very good experience. I gained a lot. She also took beautiful photos for us. It was worth the trip.

    There are hot springs in many places, and you can enter them for free. They are very hot, but they feel good. The quality of the snow at the ski resorts depends on the day, but it is good, and you can enjoy long courses.

    It takes two hours by Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano. It is convenient and cheap. Skiing in China is not that cheap. Except that there is no food near the ski resort, everything else is good. The ski resort is good, but beginners should not come here.

    I came here on August 2nd, and was soothed by the fresh breeze of the plateau and the scent of lavender. I took a cable car while climbing, and it went up slowly. Not only the lavender but also other flowers are beautiful.

    Hakuba Happoone Ski Resort is located in Karamatsudake, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, only two and a half hours' drive from Narita Airport. It is the largest single-site ski resort in Japan. Hotels in Hakuba basically include ski tickets. Just tell the hotel in advance.

    The scenery had changed completely since I visited in the summer, and a world of silver spread out before me. The snow was of good quality, and it wasn't as crowded as the more famous ski resorts. I was able to ski while enjoying the wonderful scenery, and it became my favorite slope. The restaurant was open as usual.

    My child likes it very much But because I don't know what kind of tickets to buy If you want your child to play, go to the children's play area and buy them for 800 yen per person No need to buy a daily ticket (with a deposit) so you don't have to pay for 2 rounds

    When the price was 400, I was hesitant, but when it was almost 600, I made a strong move 😅😅. It's okay. Overall, I wasted almost an hour renting the ski equipment, and the round trip bus ride took almost seven hours (butt hurts), leaving only three hours to play (crazy). Niseko is really far, much farther than Mrs. Luo, but it's worth it to go and see the world.
