Rokkosan Snow Park

Although some unexpected situations arose during the trip, the tour guide was very helpful, the trip ended successfully, and the driver was also very kind.

The location is somewhat remote, but there is paid parking available for 1500 yen per day. If you are not driving, you will need to take a bus. The package only includes skis, a jacket, ski pants, and ski boots. Helmets and gloves need to be rented separately; prices can be found on the ski resort's website. Goggles are not available for rent; you need to bring your own or purchase them on-site, or you can choose not to use them. There is a restaurant on-site, but the food is average and the prices are a bit high. The ski resort is not very large, with two main ski runs; the lowest run is suitable for beginners. Perhaps because it is artificial snow, the snow is quite hard, so falls can be painful; be extra careful. Overall, it's a 10/10, worth visiting for beginners and families.

Skiing in Mount Rokko in the morning and soaking in Taiko no Yu in Arima Onsen in the afternoon is very convenient.

The instructor was very nice, but I was a bit flustered at first when choosing ski clothing, unsure whether to wear something that fit well or a bit too big… Overall, it was a lot of fun, but unfortunately, the lesson time went by too quickly; happy times always fly by! I highly recommend it to my friends.

It rained 90% of the time that day, but we could still play in the snow. However, you need to rent a full set of equipment or you'll get soaked. My 2-year-old daughter didn't want to leave, so we took a nap in the car before heading to Nara Park to feed the deer and visit Todai-ji Temple. This kind of itinerary is perfect for families. Remember to bring instant noodles and snacks for lunch at the ski resort; the restaurants there aren't expensive! But having hot water makes me crave a bowl of instant noodles—that's just Taiwanese, haha.
