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!
