Skiing Honshu with Kids: Best Family Friendly Ski Resorts in Japan
This is the first of three snowy episodes all about skiing in Japan.
If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable family ski trip to Japan, this episode is your go to guide to exploring Honshu with kids.
Niseko might get all the powder hype, but Honshu has its own incredible magic. Culture filled villages, family friendly resorts and that perfect amount of adventure and charm that families love.
And the best part? Some of Honshu’s top ski spots are just a quick hop, skip and Shinkansen ride from Tokyo.
Sally is joined by BBC Travel Reporter Carmen Roberts who spent eight years living, working and skiing in Japan. Carmen’s insider knowledge of family travel, easy day trip resorts, and hidden gem ski areas is very impressive.
In this episode Carmen shares her top family friendly ski resorts in Honshu including:
• Gala Yuzawa. The famous Shinkansen to Ski resort you can reach directly from Tokyo.
• Hakuba. A huge resort area with something for every level of skier.
• Nozawa Onsen. A beautiful traditional village known for incredible snow and natural hot springs.
• Myoko Kogen. A favourite for families who want great snow without the big crowds (for now).
They also chat about the best off-snow activities for the whole family including onsens (and onsen family etiquette) the adorable Snow Monkeys, what to pack for your family ski trip and when to travel for the best snow and the least crowds.
If you are planning a family ski holiday to Japan this episode is packed with practical travel tips, resort advice, and expert insights to make your next snowy adventure unforgettable.
