If you have already booked accommodation with Samurai Snow, you can book lessons through our booking portal.
Celebrating a century since opening the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort, the Nozawa Snowsports School proudly continues to spread the joy of skiing and snowboarding to those new to the sport, as well as helping old hands develop their techniques.
For international guests, they have a team of professional international instructors from around the world.
Make the most of your time on the slopes with a private lesson. For private lessons you pay for the instructor, not per participant.
You can have up to eight participants in one class for the same price as one participant. This is the BEST way to improve fast with more time working on your skills.
Whether you are a first timer or an experienced skier looking to improve on technique or get rid of bad habits we have an instructor that will suit your needs.
Instructors are limited so it is recommended to make a booking well in advance.
Location
Nozawa Snowsports School is located at the top of the moving walkway, at base of the Hikage Gondola and Pair lift.
