Zao Onsen is a proper ski village with hot springs on the doorstep, and private lessons in English or Chinese are easy to arrange. On a clear day, ski the Juhyo course under the snow monsters, then rinse off in sulphur water at a public bath.
Learn to ski at Zao Onsen with a private English or Chinese instructor, three-hour lessons, powder snow, and optional photos near the famed snow monsters.
