Fantastic trip. Hotel was wonderful and ski resorts were nice. Nice group of people to spend a week with. Everything was well organized and taken care of by Keiji. Can’t wait to join another trip with TSC again. Will definitely join the trip again next year.

As usual, great trip! Nice and helpful guides, accommodation close to the gondola, good company and even live music this time! Thank you :)

What a fantastic snowboarding week in Hokkaido! The powder snow in Hokkaido is a different level. This is a real Japow! Keiji, our leader is awesome ! He made sure that everyone was safe and had fun each day. His rapid response to change the location did not let the high wind stop our trip. Five days snowboarding in incredible powder snow was an amazing experience. We were a small group of 12. They are all nice, cool, and some are goofy. We enjoyed dining out and hanging out with them to ice festival and slopes. We are ready to come back to Hokkaido with TSC next year!

During one of the biggest storms this year, the bus driver was incredible—keeping us safe as we drove there and back and helping those who went to the Snow Monkeys have a great time. The staff, as always with TSC, was helpful and energetic, and always keeping us on time. The hotel is very convenient to the slopes and rental counter, bus stop (for access to more advanced slopes), comfortable & warm, also with a large onsen. It’s an average-aged Japanese hotel, but the staff is also helpful and kind. Food is relatively simple, but good. Shiga Kogen is a great resort, especially with friends—it’s a bit complicated so, make sure to as TSC for advice before heading out & have a map. Had a great time & would love to come again!

Relatively shorter time to the hotel from shinjuku than usual (maybe a seasonal thing). The powder and slopes where amazing. Wonderful staff. Nice food and fun activities.

Best accommodation and food of all the events that i've seen past three years. The trip collided with a huge snow fall in the mountains making an amazing week of ski and scenery. The Sapporo snow festival was wonderful event to participate with impressive exhibitions. Staff carefully planning and arranging every ski resort with last minute changes to ensure the weather conditions didn't conflict with our ski experience. Must try event! I hope they continue running the Hokkaido event.

The hotel is very close to Naeba Resort, making it super convenient. The resort itself is great, with easy access to the backcountry area. Plus, the party organized by the staff is a lot of fun, and drinks are included! Totally recommended.

What an unforgettable snowboarding trip! I reunited with old friends and also made some new ones. Steven and Robin were fantastic leaders. I highly recommend joining TSC's winter sports team—five stars!
