To meet this winter’s demand for ski tourism, HowToTrip’s “Japan Ski Holiday” packages are now officially on sale. In collaboration with the Republic of China Ski Association, certified instructors will conduct small-group (6 to 8 people) teaching sessions in Japan. Packages start from NT$42,900 (tax included) for 5 days, or from NT$37,900 (tax included) for 5-day independent travel. Travelers can fly directly to the airports nearest the major ski resorts and reach their powder snow paradise in as little as one hour from the airport.
Catering to different types of skiers, HowToTrip has selected 5 major ski resorts in Japan’s Tohoku and Hokuriku regions. These include the “Appi Highlands Ski Resort,” a family-friendly vacation destination; the “Yabuli Ski Resort,” a venue for World Cup skiing competitions; the “Zao Onsen Ski Resort,” voted by CNN as one of Japan’s most beautiful scenic spots; the “Bandai Mountain Ski Resort,” a snowboarding paradise; and the “Katsuyama Ski Resort,” the largest in western Japan. This selection offers suitable ski resorts for families, beginners, and seasoned skiers alike.
Unlike many ski camps on the market where instructors also serve as guides, HowToTrip’s specially designed ski camp not only features association-certified instructors for professional teaching, but also assigns a dedicated professional guide per group. This allows instructors to focus entirely on ski instruction while guides assist with other travel needs.
Pre-order HowToTrip’s “Japan Ski Holiday” before September 30 to enjoy an early bird discount of NT$3,000 per person. Customers who place an order can also enter a lucky draw to win ski equipment worth NT$10,000 from DECATHLON. Departure dates range from mid-December this year to the end of March next year. Those who participate in HowToTrip’s Facebook comment activity can also enter to win a premium OUMOS French suitcase worth NT$20,000.
For those who want to try skiing but have lots of questions, HowToTrip is now accepting registrations for the “Skiing for Beginners Lecture” to be held on October 19. On that day, travel show host and skiing enthusiast Jason Lai Chun-lung will share his personal skiing experiences, teach attendees how to choose skis and gear, and go over essential tips for skiing.
