Private Ski Lessons in English or Chinese at Nozawa Onsen and Togari Onsen

Find the Right Ski Lesson for You in the Snowy Mountains of Nagano

This is a private ski lesson in English or Chinese at Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort or Togari Onsen Ski Resort in Nagano Prefecture. Your instructor builds the session around your experience, fitness level and goals.

Whether you're trying skiing for the first time or want to refine your technique, you can ask questions on the spot. Families are welcome too, so you can enjoy your own kind of time on the snow.

First, Choose Your Resort and Lesson Length

You can take the lesson at either Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort or Togari Onsen Ski Resort. Tell them which you prefer when you book, based on where you're staying and your travel plans.

There are two lesson lengths: 3 hours and 6 hours. Choose 3 hours if you'd like to combine skiing with sightseeing or travel, or 6 hours if you want to spend the whole day on the slopes with breaks. The 6-hour course includes a 1-hour break.

For the 3-hour course, be sure to confirm whether you prefer a morning or afternoon session when you book.

Next, Tell Your Instructor About Your Experience and Goals

Your lesson is led by a team of instructors holding qualifications such as CSIA, NZSIA, JSBA and AADIDESS. You'll learn how to ski in English or Chinese.

Let them know where you are now and what you'd like to work on, such as "I'm a beginner, so I'd like to start with the basics" or "I want to improve my turns." It's also reassuring to be able to ask about body movement in words you can easily understand.

If you're joining as a family, it helps to share everyone's age and experience in advance so you can discuss what the lesson will cover.

Then, Practice on the Snow at Your Level

On the snow, your instructor watches your skiing and movement and gives you guidance. Work on what you need right now, such as balance, turns and speed control.

Beginners start with the basics, while experienced skiers can revisit movements that have been bothering them. By listening to explanations, trying them out and checking again, you'll build a deeper understanding of how skiing feels.

Whether it's a family challenge or time to focus on your own, this lesson is tailored to you, so you can discover the fun of gliding over snow.

After the Lesson, Keep Your Photos and Videos as Travel Memories

During the lesson, your instructor helps take photos and short videos. You can keep a record of yourself practicing and of the time you spent in the snowy mountains.

Looking back at your photos and videos may bring back how it felt to ski and what you learned. Your own challenges and your family's expressions are likely to become winter memories you'll want to revisit long after you get home.
