PLEASE NOTE:
This list of ski towns is by no means definitive - there are many 'ski towns' in Japan and over 500 individual ski and snowboard resorts throughout the country.   All of these resorts are covered on Snow Japan.  For information on all ski and snowboard resorts throughout the country, please refer to the Resort section of the site. 

So why these towns?  Firstly, these towns are amongst the most popular ski towns in Japan.  Snow Japan also provides daily reporting from these regions and we also have a lot of content on the site covering the towns.  We thought that it would be a good idea to bring all of that information together into useful "Town Guides". 

The Guides are also not 'complete' - we are working on adding more information to the current guides and are also very keen to add more Guides in the future.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please email us at editor@snowjapan.com.

Thank you.
