Indy Pass

Japan Indy Ski Resorts

Indy Pass has partnered with some of the Japanese ski areas, many of which are small independent ski areas that will give you the authentic Japan ski experience. The Indy Pass provides access to the partnering ski areas for 2 days each.

Some of Indy ski areas in Japan are ideal for intrepid powder hounds, whilst some are more suited to families with beginners who are not necessarily looking for deep powder that Japan is renowned for.

Some of the ski areas are within a similar zone, whilst others are scattered and not in close proximity to each other, and road tripping to visit the areas can be quite an undertaking.

Japan Ski Tours have pulled together the Hokkaido Indy Trip which covers off some of the best Indy Pass ski areas in Hokkaido. The trip doesn't include guiding, but all logistics are taken care of including transport and lodging.

Another option is the Tohoku Indy Trip which travels to the Indy ski areas near Morioka City. The trip also covers off the logistics of accommodation, most meals and transport.
