It’s about a 1 hour commute from Shinjuku Station and would have to be one of the cheapest Snowboarding trips in Japan.

The day started well, minimum of waiting for the chair lifts, the snow wasn’t that busy so beginners can have a good day out without getting into any trouble.

I took this from the conveniently located restaurant while sipping a beer over lunch, you only get to see the bottom half from the restaurant, the total length is about 400 meters of usable snow.

There is also a video on Vimeo that shows what Indoor Skiing in Tokyo is like.
