Mt. Fuji Yeti Day-Trip Ski & Snowboard Tour from Shinjuku｜Gear & Wear Rental Plans Available

Leaving Shinjuku for the foot of Mt. Fuji

This tour departs from Shinjuku, Tokyo, and takes you on a day-trip bus journey to Fujiyama Snow Resort Yeti in Shizuoka Prefecture for a full day on the slopes. The tour takes one day, starts from ¥5,340, and has a rating of 4.3 (131 reviews).

You'll meet your guide at the pick-up point and head straight to the resort by bus. Vehicles are arranged according to the number of participants, and each guest may bring one piece of luggage free of charge. Arriving late for the meeting time is treated as a no-show with no refund, so it's best to allow plenty of time to get there.

Once you arrive at the resort, Mt. Fuji unfolds right before your eyes. From courses at elevations of 1,300–1,450m, you can enjoy views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay on clear days.

Choosing your plan first. Gear and wear rentals are available

There are six packages, A through F, so you can pick exactly what you need. Plan A is for beginners (bus + ski gear + wear + lift ticket + lesson) Plan B is the easy option (bus + gear + wear + lift ticket) Plan C is the economy option (bus + gear + lift ticket) Plan D is bus + admission & sledding Plan E is snow play & strawberry picking Plan F is transportation only

For rentals, you can choose either skiing or snowboarding. Snowboard rental includes a jacket, pants, and board; ski rental includes a jacket, pants, poles, and skis. Accessories such as helmets, goggles, gloves, and hats are not included.

If you'd like to add extra gear or warm clothing on the day, you can rent and pay for it on-site. Please wear warm, waterproof clothing and non-slip winter footwear for the day.

Time to hit the slopes. About 6 hours on a 3km course, at your own pace

Plans that include a lift ticket give you approximately six hours of skiing time. Yeti has three lifts and a total course length of 3km, ranging from a 1,300m beginner course to a 1,450m intermediate course and even advanced runs, with up to six slopes and courses to choose from.

The first tracks on freshly groomed slopes in the morning are best enjoyed with Mt. Fuji right in front of you. The upper part of the course is also a great spot for photos.

Average temperatures are 0°C in December, -3°C in January, -2°C in February, and 2°C in March. January and February are especially cold, so plan on layering up warmly.

New to skiing? Start with a lesson from a Japanese coach

The beginner package (Plan A) includes a group lesson from a professional Japanese coach. Guides who speak Chinese or English provide interpretation support, so you can learn the basics comfortably even if you're worried about the language barrier.

Lessons are group-style only, and snowboard lessons are not offered. If you choose snowboarding, your plan will consist of equipment rental and a lift ticket only.

For safety, guests are required to follow staff instructions on-site, and failure to do so may result in being asked to stop the activity. Since skiing involves balance and physical control, please make sure you're in good condition to participate.

Fun even if you don't ski: sledding, snow play, and strawberry picking

Yeti has a dedicated sledding slope and a snow play area, so non-skiing companions and young children can also enjoy a full day out. Plan D combines bus transfer with admission and sledding, while Plan E combines snow play with strawberry picking.

The sledding package includes 30 minutes of all-you-can-eat strawberry picking. It's a great choice for anyone who wants to end a day in the snow with something sweet.

Please note this experience is not recommended for those over 70, pregnant women, or those with serious medical conditions that limit mobility.

Who this experience suits best
