Lessons FAQ

No way! Because:
- The movements and teaching methods differ between single and double skis.
- The slope conditions required for beginners differ by discipline (snowboarding struggles on flat terrain but handles steeper slopes better, while skiing struggles on steep slopes but is fine on flat terrain).
👉 Therefore, if a group wants to learn both snowboarding and skiing at the same time, separate instructors must be arranged and lessons conducted separately.
We do not arrange combined classes.
We operate on a private group system, where the instructor serves only your group (up to 6 people). You won’t be grouped with strangers, so differences in progress or needs will not affect the quality of learning.
If you have group class requests, please send us a direct message for arrangements.
Yes. Most of our instructors are from Taiwan or are Chinese speakers living long-term in Japan, all with many years of experience and internationally recognized certifications.
We can also arrange instructors who speak English or Cantonese upon request.

Short-term stays are not needed; for long-term stays, you can purchase the next day's stay.
- On the first day of learning, beginners usually practice in the beginner area and may not need to use a cable car day pass.
- The instructor will recommend the most suitable lift ticket type based on each participant’s situation. There are many types of lift tickets, including full-day, half-day, night skiing, hourly passes, point passes, one-way tickets, and magic carpet tickets.A lift ticket is only required if you need to take the lift.
- ※ Beginners usually do not need to use a one-day pass for their first class.
You don't have to pay. If you don't use their facilities, you basically don't have to pay. But then you'll have to keep climbing uphill.
- Building on the above, if you already have basic skiing experience and plan to ski for 2–3 days (or more) in one trip, purchasing early-bird tickets will be more cost-effective.
- If you are a complete beginner, the chance of needing a full-day lift ticket on the first day is relatively low. At the beginning, the instructor will guide you to practice on the side of the slope, helping your body get used to the board and the snow, and develop a feel for the snow. Afterwards, depending on your learning progress, you may then take the lift and ski down.
- Early bird tickets are usually only available for "full mountain tours of one day or more" and are non-refundable after purchase.
- Wearing glasses or contact lenses is fine. However, you should be careful not to remove contact lenses on the ski slopes, as they tend to dry out easily. There are also ski goggles specifically designed for wearing glasses.
- In Japan, most stores do not sell items without a prescription, so remember to ask beforehand.
