Get Great Deals with Coupons to 3 Niigata and Nagano Ski Resorts

Popular ski resorts in Niigata and Nagano prefectures — If skiing is your thing, plan trips with family and friends to popular ski resorts in Niigata and Nagano prefectures.

Nagano and Niigata prefectures in the Chubu and Hokuriku regions are known for their heavy snowfall zones. So it’s no surprise that there are lots of famous ski resorts in these two prefectures. Snow season is from the end of November to around March, and the operating season of a ski resort depends on the amount of snowfall.

Besides skiing, you can go around the ski resorts for some sightseeing in the nearby areas as well as try out the hot springs. Every year from September to October, discount coupons that are sold by ski facilities and winter accommodation plans can be used at multiple ski resorts, and you might be able to get some great deals at related facilities.

Here are three of the most popular ski coupons and nearby accommodations. Some facilities also offer ski instructors in English, so those interested should contact the facility for more information.

In order to ski, you will need the following equipment: skis, boots, poles, clothing and hat, gloves, and goggles. Also, many ski facilities do not have an entrance fee, but most of the time any free access is only available for a limited area under the lifts.

To ski the trails, purchase a lift ticket and ride the lift up the mountain. If you use a coupon, you can get a discount on these lift tickets or even a discount on ski equipment rentals. Please note that when you first get on the lift, it's very common to fall at the boarding and disembarkation points, so be careful!

(1) Best Value in Japan! Shinetsu Nature Town Super Value Ticket

A set of five coupons gives you access to ski resorts in Niigata and Nagano, plus food and hot spring bathing.

This is a set of five coupons that can be used within the largest ski resort areas in Japan, in Niigata and Nagano prefectures. With one coupon, not only can you get a one-day lift ticket, but also a meal ticket and a hot spring bathing ticket. Tickets not used during the season can be exchanged for special products from the area. Additionally, you can use the coupons alone or with a group, so it is recommended to share them with family and friends. You can apply online or by phone to purchase the coupons, select the ski resort you would like to use, and on the day of use, you can exchange them for lift tickets and get special benefits at the ticket center of each ski resort. In regards to payment, PayPal can be used as well as bank transfer. They’re so popular, they sell out quickly, so get them before they do!
