- The lodge we’re staying at is very well located, only 2 mins walk from/to Nagasaka gondola. Rooms are basic (futons, blankets and heater) but good enough if you want convenience and more ski/snowboard time. The lodge/hotel room rate around Nagasaka gondola area costs about 12,000yen/person/night. Our lodge is very cheap for that area but the catch is, its old and not well maintained.
- We recommend paying for a hotel/lodge upgrade (6,000yen for 2 nights) if you want to stay in a nicer and cleaner accommodation.
- Rooms will be allocated to your preference.
- Minimum 4 and maximum of 5 persons per room.
- Male/Female only rooms are available.
- Group of (4) friends can have their own room.
- Private room for 2 persons and 3 persons available for an extra fee (first-come/first-served basis).
- Some restaurants and shops in the ski resorts don’t accept credit cards so please bring enough cash.
- Lunch and dinner not provided but available at the ski resort.
- Free beginners snowboarding (only) lesson is on Saturday (Feb 25) from 9:30am until 12pm.
- Lift pass will not be provided if you avail the beginners discount.
- You don’t need a lift pass to join our free ski/snowboarding lessons. However, if you’re a fast learner and would want to ride the chairlifts, you can buy a “ride ticket” which costs around 300-350yen per ride. On average, beginners only take the chairlifts 4-5 times the entire weekend. Some beginners, not at all!
- Soap, shampoo and rinse are provided in the bath (ofuro).
