Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I thought it might be nice to start a topic about Coupons for resorts. I'm not the richest person in the world and am always looking for deals. There is one on the Houdaigi website that makes your day pass 100 yen cheaper and you get a 1,000 yen meal ticket. Pretty good. There is also one for Tenjindaira which is a simple 500 yen discount. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It's probably not cool to post a whole bunch of links. My advice is to look on the homepages for each resort. There are links to resorts on the SJ main site. They almost always have a coupon that will at least include lunch (クーポン)... or a day trip package that will include lunch, onsen or rental (日帰り１日券パック). Usually, you will only find the discounts on the Japanese versions of the websites. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 27, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi there This is one of those times that I have to be a 'spoilsport', sorry, but we aren't cool with lists of links. It's not that we don't want you to use discount tickets, of course. As Black Mountain said you can find the websites of all resorts on our resort pages and there the vouchers can very often be found there, and also at local convenience stores. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/index.html Failing that, I'm sure google will bring up some things for you. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Talking of discounts, and one that is probably not widely know is that Kiyosato offers discounts for using JAF card, and the discount increases the more you go. Now everytime I go my day ticket costs just 2250yen! Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 27, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 27, 2013 All the links you posted (apart from one commercial site) were resort websites. They are all accessible from the resort pages on the website. You can link to the resort page on our site if you like. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 OK. I just edited out the links. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 27, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sorry about that. Before someone self-combusts in utter outrage, again most coupons are available from the resort websites if you take a look. They can be found on the resort pages of the site. Thanks.

boardbaka 3 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 interested in the one about Kiyosatsu snowdude- I`ve never heard of this resort - can you or anybody shed some light on its location ? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm guessing he means Sun Meadows Kiyosato? http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=200 Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm guessing he means Sun Meadows Kiyosato? http://www.snowjapan...l.php?resid=200 Yes, Sun Meadows it is in northern part of Yamanashi very close to the Nagano border. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 interested in the one about Kiyosatsu snowdude- I`ve never heard of this resort - can you or anybody shed some light on its location ? cheers Sun Meadows, is in Kiyosato, it is right close to the Nagano border far northern part of Yamanashi. It is only a small resort, but due to its high altitude 1600 metres base and 1900 metres top the snow tends to be light powder snow, and gets snow when other places get rain. I have done a review on Sun meadows before and posted some pics, if you want to know more. Or you can ask me and I can tell you what you want to know. Kiyosato is very cool in summer usually only maxing out at 25oC when Tokyo is hitting 38oC. But in winter gets down to -25 and lower some nights with day time temps often not getting above -10oC. I have been to Kiyosato in summer and needed to wear a coat! Some of the locals call it a Honshu Hokkaido! Link to post Share on other sites
boardbaka 3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks very much for the information - sounds like a secret squirrel kind of a place - nice they have a collabaration with the JAF also 1 cheers Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Your welcome! Another thing I should point out (this year ok) but if you go there in January and first half of February it is skiers only if you are a boarder you would be disappointed! Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Groupon offering an overnight stay/breakfast/liftpass deal to Muikamachi (not Hakkaisan) for 4k if anyone's interested. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 That's really good - am tempted to book it. When is the deadline? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The only other resorts within what was Muikamachi are Muikamachi Ski Resort and.... that's it. Do you mean Minamiuonuma? Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 ah, may have been for today only. hmmm...this says: http://www.snowjapan...il.php?resid=19 Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes that link is Hakkaisan. But you said 'not Hakkaisan'. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah, and I wrote Muikamachi, ergo...it's a deal to Muikamachi, not including Hakkaisan -- which is, I think, what I wrote. Unless someone went in there and added something in a typeface that's invisible to my account, in which case I disclaim all responsibility. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 But.... what do you mean by 'Muikamachi'? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well, the only other resort actually in what was known as Muikamachi is 'Muikamachi Ski Resort', so perhaps that is it. Puzzles are fun though! Link to post Share on other sites
