What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan? Sushi? Kimonos? Whatever it is, it’s definitely not skiing. Ladies, get with the times and check out what’s on offer in Japan. A decade back we’d have never thought of Japan as a skiing destination but that has all changed. Hakuba is sort of a mecca for skiers in Japan. The skiing season goes on from December to late April, and believe me, the action is hot! With more than 7 ski fields to choose from, Hakuba has slopes for beginners and rugged terrain for all you adrenaline junkies too. Accommodation facilities are massive too and you can choose from 5 star style rooms to traditional Japanese cottages or inns. Immerse yourself in food, culture and lots of entertainment in the evenings with a variety of pubs, clubs, bars, lounges or even temples for some peace of mind. Hakuba ski resort is roughly about 2 ½ hours ride from Tokyo by bullet train.
