Ski Japan

Tokyo is Japan’s capital city and is well known for its restaurants, fashion, and technology. The unmissable digital neon billboards and towering sky scrapers are impressive feats of design, engineering, and construction, colouring the inner city streets 24/7. The advancement of technology sits nicely along side some of Japans oldest temples and sprawling public gardens, providing an interesting and unique visit for students on a school ski trip to Japan. 

The Hakuba Valley was home of the 1998 Winter Olympics, it is famous around the world for great skiing, boasts some of the best resorts and has consistent snowfall all winter. Hakuba is a true alpine village with terrain to suit all students and is located in the spectacular Japanese Alps. For more than 70 years Hakuba has been providing skiers, snowboarders and outdoor enthusiasts the ideal conditions for an enjoyable winter experience. The best conditions can generally be found from December to late February, with March perfect for spring skiing and some of the resorts staying open until the first week of May.

A school trip to Japan will help students apply their Japanese language skills by interacting with local host families and experiencing Japanese culture. Students will have the opportunity to experience Japanese traditions and will be introduced to basic greetings and based on their own learning goals, can put their knowledge of the Japanese language into a practical environment.
