We went to Nagano for a weekend ski trip! It was a pre-planned event, organized by the Japan relocation agency that helped us find our apartment. So all we had to do was pay - and show up! It was very convenient... we didn't have to worry about finding our way, reserving a hotel, buying tickets, etc.
It snowed the ENTIRE time we were there. Which made for beautiful scenery and fresh powder snow - but it also made it a little difficult to see while skiing at times, and also very wet.
There was so much fresh powder that Joe could stick his entire pole under the snow!
Fresh snow pile outside the hotel lobby.
We had a tatami room inside our hotel room - I loved this!
Right before we boarded the bus to go home, it stopped snowing. The views were spectacular!
View while loading the bus. Wish it would have been this beautiful all weekend long.

Have you tried Onsen? In Japan, we enjoy Ski & Onsen during winter.
