Much recommended. I've skied lots, all over - and done plenty of group tours in Europe, American and Japan - and this was exactly as promised/hoped. Good value, super organisation/knowledge, fantastic food in decent hotels, and friendly staff/guides. Every group will have differing skills on the mountain, people who can be a bit late getting their boots on etc, but they managed this incredibly well and always with good humour. The group never felt too large, the pace on the hill was quick but never silly, and we were able to have a joke/get to know the guides, while also being reassured they were taking all the avy/safety stuff seriously. I'd say impossible to beat on mainland Japan. We will return and re-book! Bravo Marco and crew!

This family run business provided expert help in fitting skis and boots. They will rent everything you need - even goggles! Then they will deliver and pick up the gear from your hotel at about half the price of the ritzy snow sports store. Elliot was fantastic in ensuring that my boots would fit my jet-lagged ‘kankles’. Thanks to all!

Reviewed By dalliance47 - Tweed Heads, Australia
Mt Myoko is a much quieter ski area than nearby Hukuba. The area is better catered for families, especially where some are yet to achieve the skill needed to ski like a pro. Of the several resorts on the mountain, Suginohara excels. The wide runs offer many Green and Red (Blue elsewhere) run options. And, for families, kids under 14 ski free. Unlike other resorts nearby, nearly all the lifts are of the newer (fast) style. The only 'downer' is that the (old) access lift often opns after the rest have opened. This means that to enjoy 1st tracks, one must drive a car to the 'base' area. This access lift should open at least 15 minutes (better 30 minutes) before the Gondola. There are plenty of good food options. So, unless you are a black level skier, you will have lots of fun.
