It was a great trip. Everything was organised and planned. I liked the hotel and the snowboarding experience. I was a beginner and the instructor taught me to snowboard very patiently.

We had unforgettable experience with TOKYO SNOW CLUB.
We traveled as a group of four: two newbie who are ready to learn and two intermediate. Along the trip, we get to meet many other solos and end up with the Coolest Snowboard Gang Ever!!!
My friend and I got in the snowboard lesson with Bunzo-an patience and friendly instructor and tour guide. He taught us the basic: from how to put on gears to technique like falling leaf and heel-toe. The lesson saves our life when one of our friends accidentally brought us beginner to an advance trail.
Food is gasshoku style: like you are student going on a trip. People at the hotel is very friendly and open to help if we have problem or want to change our gear. The view of Naeba is amazing and I believe they have so many level of trail to help you thrive as beginner and intermediate.
Overall was a nice beginning for my snowboard journey. I can't wait to come back.

Glad that joined this tour to celebrate New Year! Hakuba is one of the best ski resorts I have been. Staff are friendly and always keep us posted for any update. Will definitely join again.

Great trip, awesome people. This was my first trip with TSC and I couldn’t be happier. Guides are super friendly! Felt very safe as a solo female traveler!

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!
