Ski Tour which offered the Best price at Mt.Fuji

Do you know that you can skiing on Mt.Fuji? That place is not only the nearest ski resort from Tokyo but also earliest opens in Japan in mid to late October.The name of place is "Yeti".

I will introduce the cheapest way to go there.The price of tour is JPY 5,150 which combined round trip bus rides from Shin Matsuda Station to Yeti with one day lift ticket.

The train fare are not included.so you gonna have to get to Shin Matsuda by yourself. Take the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku Station to Shin Matsuda Station.It takes about one and half hours to get there and train fare is JPY 789 when you use IC card.

When you arrived at Shin Matsuda Station, get through a ticket gate at North Exit.and wait for the Bus at Bus stop NO.2.The Bus to the Yeti pick you up at 8:30. It takes about one hour to get to Yeti via Freeway.

Yeti is a small ski area on the southern slope of Mount Fuji.Its two main runs are each about 1,000 meters long. Basically its snow is artificial. but it opens in mid October.The first ski area to open in Japan every year.

The return bus to Shin Matsuda Station will leave Yeti at 4:45pm and you will be
back to Shin Matsuda Station about 6:05pm.

Regarding apply tour from web site,Unfortunately,there is not English edition prepared. so you are going to be struggle to booking as long as you are familiar in Japanese language. Further more,you need to be member ship of its travel agency before your booking.

Yeti's English Web Page is here.

When you booking a tour from here, The round trip Bus to Yeti leaves from Shinjuku. so you don't have to go to Shin Matsuda Station by yourself.Its package tour includes round trip bus fare to Yeti from Shinjuku,one day lift ticket and ski or snowboard rental equipment. I think its package tour fare is approximately JPY 11,000. If you are new comer in Japan and can afford to expense,I recommend to this way.
