These Are The Best Japan Ski Deals In 2024

Last updated: January 2024

January might be coming to a close but that doesn’t mean the ski season in Japan is over, plus based on the number of storm systems that have rolled through in the last few weeks there are plenty of incredible days of powder left for those who venture over to Japan to get their annual Japanese powder fix.

One key factor which makes this season a little different is all previous restrictions on visitation, mask and venue capacities are gone and Japan is back to being 100% open. We ourselves have a trip booked for the end of February through to mid march and it will be our 7th trip to Japan but our first time skiing and snowboarding and we couldn’t be more excited.

We will be off to Sapporo and plan to visit as many ski resorts as physically possible, stay tuned for a full update on each of those resorts, however, before we get on a plane and enjoy our trip we decided to take a look at the best Japan Ski Deals in 2024 which are still available for you to book.

The best part is because we are starting to crest over the peak of the season it means the best Japan ski deals start to get cheaper, and we have never heard any skier or snowboarder complain about things getting cheaper, especially in 2024.

Best Japan Ski Deals in Hakuba

Through the crew at Japan Ski Experience you can still save up to 20% on lodging and lift ticket deals. Hakuba is one of the best places to ski and snowboard in Japan thanks to its towering mountain peaks, exceptional valley with little towns dotted all throughout and of course, the 10 ski resorts which are all home to exceptional snowfall.

There was just recently more than 1.5m of fresh snow in the previous weeks which means the ski resorts in Hakuba will be riding through to the end of March. Whether you are a beginner who is about to take your first turns, and intermediate rider who loves long blue runs or an advanced to expert powder hound, Hakuba will tick every single box you can throw at it. Lastly, one of the best Japan ski deals going around is if you have an Epic Pass or Epic Australia Pass, you will get 5 days of free riding in Hakuba.

Any saving on lift passes means more yen for onsets, ramen and midnight trips to 7-11 in the snow. These hakuba lift passes will need to be consecutive however once these run out you can get lift passes for 6,000 yen ($60AUD / $35USD) or better yet you can then venture out to explore Myoko, Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen or Lotte Arai which are all world class ski resorts in their own right.
