Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

Professional Ski Instructor Service: This product offers ski lessons in Chinese. All instructors hold valid Japanese work visas and are legally authorized to teach ski in Japan. Lessons are offered in small groups or privately, and the curriculum can be tailored to the student's age, skiing level, and needs. Whether it's a first-time skier, a family with children, or a group of friends, everyone can enjoy skiing safely and with peace of mind.

Instructions for children under 7 years old: According to the ski instructor's safety manual, one-on-one instruction is recommended for children under 7 years old to ensure teaching quality and skiing safety. If parents wish to attend lessons with their children, other family members should wait patiently. The instructor will initially focus on teaching the child. Once the child has adapted to the lesson or needs a break, the instructor will arrange for other family members to join the lesson, allowing the whole family to enjoy skiing.

Insurance Information: The course includes designated Japanese medical insurance and third-party liability insurance (for injuries to others or damage to their property) during the course. However, the insurance does not cover medical expenses after returning home, trip cancellation, traffic delays, or loss of luggage. Therefore, it is recommended that travelers purchase comprehensive overseas travel accident insurance before departure for greater peace of mind.

Pre-lesson reminder: We recommend arriving at the ski resort 50 minutes in advance to rent your ski equipment. The rental center has professional staff to assist with measurements and selecting suitable equipment. After renting, meet your instructor at your scheduled time to begin your lesson.
