Your Own Private Lesson on the Slopes of Nozawa Onsen
The setting is Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort in Nagano Prefecture. In this private lesson, a professional instructor from an officially recognized resort school teaches you skiing or snowboarding.
Unlike group lessons shared with other parties, a private lesson lets you focus entirely on your own practice. You can ask questions on the spot, such as "I don't get this part" or "Could you watch this move?", and work on your technique as you go.
Go beyond simply gazing at the snowy mountains and enjoy the thrill of gliding down them under your own power. Why not make your day in Nozawa Onsen a little more special with a fresh challenge?

First, Tell Your Instructor What You Want to Ride and Learn
Start by telling your instructor whether you want to learn skiing or snowboarding, along with your past experience and what you'd like to practice. Whether you're trying it for the first time or want to rethink a self-taught style, talking about where you are right now is the starting point of the lesson.
Lessons are offered in English, Chinese and Japanese. On an unfamiliar mountain, it's reassuring to hear explanations in a language you understand easily. Be sure to mention your preferred sport and language when you book.


Next, Try What You've Learned on the Snow
Once you're ready, listen to your instructor's explanation and head out to practice, checking each movement as you go. Your instructor can watch you directly, helping you understand posture and board or ski movements that are hard to notice on your own.
If anything is unclear, just ask right there. Listen, move, then check again. Enjoy building up that cycle at your own pace in a lesson made just for you.
The feeling of gliding down a white slope and the crunch of snow underfoot are all part of the fun of being here.


Finally, Turn Today's Run into a Video Keepsake
After the lesson, you'll also receive a video. It's a treat to see yourself afterwards, something that's hard to judge while you're actually skiing or riding.
You can recall what you were taught and spot what you'd like to practice next. The fun of looking back on your time on the mountain continues even after you get home.
Whether it's your first attempt or your first run in a long while, you can keep your day in Nozawa Onsen together with a record of your own skiing or riding.
