Skiing and Snowboarding

Tokyo Gaijins organizes big group ski/snowboarding events every weekend to Japan’s most famous ski resorts during the winter season. These include Hakuba, Yuzawa, Nozawa onsen, Shiga Kogen, Myoko Kogen, Zao Onsen and Niseko, all huge mountain ranges with superb snow quality and consistently incredible amounts of snowfall each year.

We offer FREE SKI/SNOWBOARDING LESSONS ON OUR WEEKEND TRIPS!

Whether you live in or are just visiting Japan and you love or want to try winter sports, then this club is for you. We provide free skiing and snowboarding lessons, and our trips are often combined with interesting cultural activities such as some amazing (some would say crazy) local festivals, cute snow monkeys and relaxing onsen. Our apres-ski parties are second to none with a reputation for being fun and exciting.

Everyone is welcome from casual skiers or snowboarders to crazy and adventurous ones. From beginners to people who just want to party, chill out, and experience winter Japan.

Joining TG’s ski/snowboard events are the best way to meet new people and ride the Japanese Alps.

Come play in the snow with us!
