  • Densei (basic lodge) is very well located, only 2-3 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. Basically, this is just a place to sleep to ski/snowboard.
  • We recommend paying for a hotel/lodge ‘shared room’ upgrade if you want to stay at a nicer 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 (or more) friends can have their own room.
  • Private room for 2 persons and 3 persons available for an extra fee (first-come/first-served basis).
  • Lunch and dinner not provided but available at the ski resort.
  • Free snowboarding (only) lesson is on the Saturday 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).
  • Towels available for rent at the lodge for 200yen.
  • You can send your gear by delivery service (takkyubin) to the lodge. Address will be provided upon request
