Another wonderful Christmas weekend! Staff as always were super helpful. One of the staff was a sage Rubix cube master, he served me mulled red wine. What an experience. The hotel itself is very budget hotel but has everything you need for a wonderful weekend including food, great onsen, warm room, and a large equipment room downstairs. Great access to the whole area. I’ve found that even early in the season there is always somewhere to go and using nearby yamanoeki you can go by free shuttle anywhere. I had fun making friends and the vibe was great! I plan to go every year I can on this particular trip.

This was my first trip with TSC. It was spectacular, super worthy, well prepared and the schedule always on time. Even it was a big group, the guys manage pretty well. The views are amazing and one of my favorites activities for the autum in Japan.

I will rate 6 stars if possible. The timing was perfect, money wise also very on point. The vibe and the energy was amazing!!! I took the free lessons and felt like some friends were trying to teach me and encourage me to skii… love it… the aprè ski was super fun and in the overall the experience is wonderful. Is amazing how the guys make you feel very confident about everything and you have zero worries… only fun in the snow! ⛄️ ❄️

Everything you need for a great trip to the mountains. The comfort of a bus ride up to & back from the mountains, a safe place to sleep, nutritious food, close to the mountains, new people to meet, and fun at night. For those that don't know how to ski, there's lessons and other activities. Make sure to bring lots of layers, as the hotel is a bit cold at night—or go to the onsen!

I had a fantastic time on the Autumn kayaking trip. Our guide Bunzo did a great job of organising our large group and checking everything was ok. The trip ran smoothly and there was plenty of time to enjoy the kayaking, the scenery, enjoy lunch and sake tasting. I met some lovely people and ended the day in a nearby onsen, so a very memorable and enjoyable day.

A very relaxing journey enjoying nature: the autumn leaves hadn’t fully turned red yet, but the weather was beautiful. At the waterfall, we even saw a rainbow, and we got to taste many varieties of red wine. Bunzo and Robin were two very responsible leaders. Highly recommended!
