Purchases are accepted until 11:59 on the day of your visit. Since the time slot is specified, it can be difficult to adjust your visit time, but the priority lane points are incredibly powerful! I'm glad I bought it. Mount Moiwa Observatory is very popular with tourists, so there are often long lines to board the ropeway. Being able to skip straight to the priority lane was extremely efficient, and since you get priority boarding, you can secure a good spot for a good view. The priority lane perks are more effective than you'd expect, so I highly recommend it.
This one-day ski trip to Hokkaido was a high-value, well-managed package. The instructors were highly professional, with a great pace, allowing even beginners to quickly get up to speed. The experience was reassuring and emotionally enriching. The equipment far exceeded expectations; it was incredibly warm, preventing any discomfort even during extended skiing sessions, making it perfect for those sensitive to the cold. Lunch was delicious and provided excellent energy replenishment, effectively supporting the afternoon's workout. It's worth noting that water is not allowed at the ski resort, and while you might get thirsty, there are vending machines available for immediate hydration. The biggest takeaway from the actual skiing experience was that falling really hurts, the snow isn't as soft as you might imagine, and the physical and core exertion was higher than anticipated. It's advisable to prepare mentally beforehand. In summary, this is a great option for first-time skiers who don't want to handle too many details themselves. The process is smooth, the package is complete, and you can simply focus on skiing and, well, falling (?), create lasting memories. If you're looking for a day trip that's "safe for beginners but still offers a genuine experience of skiing intensity," this tour should be on your priority list.
