tripler 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I heard about a Japanese ski insurance which costs about 2000 yen for a season. Anyone know what company does it? Or is it a government thing? Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Are you looking for backcountry insurance too? Link to post Share on other sites
MrSingh 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Oh yeah, one caveat. You need to sign up as a Yahoo premium member before you can sign up for the insurance coverage. Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 how much does that cost? Link to post Share on other sites
MrSingh 0 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yahoo Premium costs 346 yen a month. You get an extra bunch of services e.g. Read online manga Listen to 50,000 JP songs on soundstation Watch movies (additional fees required) Insurance (additional fees required) Games etc. Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 a monthly charge counts it out for me. Any other season-long Japanese ski insurance with liability for 2000 yen? Link to post Share on other sites
dyna8800 3 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Check out the counter at Victoria Sports, etc. they usually have pamphlets on the Japanese sports insurance. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 2000 yen aint that cheap though is it? When you buy your ticket at Niseko, add 100yen and you have insurance. Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 100 yen a day for a 3.5 month season would come to 10,500 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
MrSingh 0 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Also, check the fine print and see if they cover out of bounds rescue expenses. That's the reason why I went with Yahoo insurance. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 thursday, if it's for a whole season and really does cover everything as described, JPY 2,000 sounds pretty cheap to me... SdS Link to post Share on other sites
