Ski & Snow

The ski season in Japan generally begins in December and lasts until April
but the actual dates depend on each resort and their location.
Hokkaido, and the mountains of Nagano, located in higher altitudes,
tend to get more snow earlier in the season than other places.
The peak season is in January and February.
The snow quality in Japan is excellent for winter sports.
