  • Naeba Ski Resort | Private Mandarin-Speaking Ski Lesson

When traveling to Japan in winter, you cannot miss the joy of experiencing skiing in the silver-white snow!

Located in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, Naeba Ski Resort is one of the most famous large-scale ski resorts in the country. It features wide slopes and diverse terrain, ranging from gentle slopes perfect for beginners to challenging runs for advanced skiers to hone their skills. With excellent surrounding accommodation, dining, and ski equipment facilities, it is the perfect choice whether you are planning your first ski trip to Japan or returning to improve your technique.

  • This course offers private Mandarin-speaking ski instruction for both Snowboard and Ski. All instructors hold international ski instructor certifications, are qualified to teach both Snowboard and Ski, and have obtained official teaching certification from the resort, ensuring students can learn in an environment that complies with resort regulations.

  • Professional Mandarin instruction, no need to worry even for first-timers

Don't worry about not understanding Japanese or English ski terminology! The course is led by a Mandarin-speaking instructor who can clearly explain techniques, safety concepts, and details that need adjustment in a familiar language.

Whether you are a complete beginner with zero experience or a student with a basic foundation looking to improve your turning and gliding skills, the instructor will adjust the course pace according to your actual level and learning progress, allowing every student to learn step-by-step in a way that suits them.


  • Private group, small class size | Maximum 4 people per class

The course is conducted as a private, small-group session with a maximum of 4 students per class.

Compared to larger group lessons, the small class size allows the instructor more time to observe each student's movements and progress, providing more comprehensive individual guidance while ensuring both teaching quality and safety on the slopes.

It is perfect for couples, friends, families, or travel companions to book a private group and enjoy your own skiing time at Naeba.

  • Snowboard and Ski options available

Whether you want to try the stylish Snowboard or the classic Ski, you can choose the course according to your interests and skill level.

Beginners will start by learning how to use equipment, safety concepts, and basic movements, then gradually practice moving, braking, turning, and gliding techniques based on their progress. For experienced students, the instructor can help adjust their form and further enhance their skills.


  • Half-day course | 3 hours

If you want to experience skiing for the first time or prefer to keep half the day free for independent skiing or sightseeing, you can choose the 3-hour half-day course.
