Experience the spectacular views of the snow country and the fun of playing in the snow!
Take a gondola ride and enjoy the spectacular view from the top of the mountain!
Gondola rides offer spectacular aerial views of the mountains, valleys, lakes and other natural sights.
The spectacular view from the gondola, with its floating sensation and sense of leisure, is a real thrill that you can't experience on regular mountain climbing.
Once you reach the summit, walk through the snow to the viewpoint, where a magnificent view of the snowy country awaits.
The weather in the snowy mountains is changeable, and it may be cloudy when you visit.
When you do, experience the coldness of the summit, which is something you can only experience in the snowy regions of Japan, and it will become a wonderful memory.
Playing in the snow is fun!
Snow is a gift that only comes in winter, so playing in the snow is a precious and extraordinary experience.
It's fun even for beginners and will make everyone smile. Make big snowballs, stack them, and draw eyes, noses, and mouths to make a "snowman."
"Snowball fights" are games where you scoop up snow, make round snowballs, and throw them at your opponent. The person who hits the most wins. There is a special sledding area at the ski resort.
Riding a sled and feeling the cold wind is a wonderful experience for both children and adults. Create your own wonderful winter story with the snow in Japan this winter!
Experience the JR Shinkansen and Ekiben!
Take a ride on Japan's pride and joy, the JR Shinkansen!
Since its launch, the Shinkansen has had almost no serious accidents and is known as one of the safest in the world. The Shinkansen runs at a maximum speed of 320km/h and arrives on time, making it extremely reliable, and the interior of the train is spacious, with little shaking, making it a comfortable ride.
This is because the Shinkansen is supported by a group of professionals.
The Shinkansen is shaped by the Japanese spirit of hospitality, from the workers who are responsible for safe operation and maintain the carriages and tracks, to the cleaning professionals who clean the interiors of the carriages in an astonishing seven minutes, to ensure passengers' comfort.
Customers from overseas who ride a Shinkansen for the first time will be surprised and impressed by its comfort, and will be extremely satisfied with the experience.
Let's go to Snow Country by Shinkansen!
Get some Ekiben at Tokyo Station!
Ekiben are special bento lunches sold at Japanese train stations and are an essential meal for travelers.
These beautifully presented bento boxes use local specialties and seasonal ingredients and are also an opportunity to experience the charm of local culture and cuisine.
They often come in packaging featuring local landmarks or traditional designs, creating a sense of excitement even before you eat them.
Ekiben are designed to be easy to eat while traveling, so you can easily enjoy them on the train.
The menu of many ekiben changes with the seasons, so you can enjoy different flavors depending on the season, such as cherry blossom flavored in spring and chestnut and mushroom flavored in autumn.
Ekiben can be an even more enjoyable experience if you can savor different types of bento while taking in the scenery on the train and sharing them with friends and family.
Ekiben are a delicious part of culture that makes travelling even more special.
When you visit Japan, be sure to try the local ekiben!

Why Japanese ski resorts are recommended
Attractive Japanese Ski Resorts
Japanese ski resorts are surrounded by beautiful nature.
Many resorts are easily accessible from Tokyo, and can be reached in just a few hours by bullet train or bus, making them ideal locations for planning trips that combine them with city sightseeing.
Many resorts also have hot springs where you can soothe your tired body after a day of skiing.
For foreigners, the experience of soaking in a hot spring while taking in the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains is very special.
There is a wide range of ski slopes to choose from, from gentle slopes for beginners to challenging runs for advanced skiers.
There are also plenty of ski and snowboard lessons available, and many ski resorts have English-speaking instructors for foreigners.
The restaurant's menu offers dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.
Furthermore, at ski resorts, you can enjoy service that allows you to experience the uniquely Japanese spirit of hospitality, "omotenashi."
Experiencing Japanese culture and traditions offers more than just a ski trip.
Snow in Japan
The Japanese archipelago is long from north to south and is made up of a variety of climate zones, from subarctic in the north to subtropical in the south. Each region has beautiful seasonal changes and some areas experience snow in the winter.
A lot of snow falls and accumulates in the high mountains and mountainous areas of Hokkaido and Honshu.
In Japan, areas where it snows are called "snow countries," and since ancient times people have used snow to preserve vegetables and food, have snowball fights and make snow igloos, enjoy skiing, and have made good use of snow in their daily lives.
Snow also creates a rich water source, making it a treasure trove of delicious rice and other agricultural products.
Have you ever touched snow? Snow can come down softly or fall steadily, and when you place it in your palm, it feels cold and melts in an instant, disappearing.
Snow is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere turns into ice crystals and forms ice particles (snow crystals).
When the temperature is very low in Japan, the amount of water vapor in snow is low and the ice crystals do not grow large, so the snow becomes fine and dry.
Skiers and snowboarders from all over the world call this Japanese powder snow "JAPOW" and admire it.
This can be experienced when it is very cold.
Snow in Japan can provide you with many wonderful experiences, so be sure to experience it during your stay in Japan.
