Best Ski Resorts Near Tokyo for a Day Trip Adventure

 

If you're looking to hit the slopes without committing to an overnight stay, GALA Yuzawa and Fujiyama Snow Resort Yeti are top choices for a day trip from Tokyo.

GALA Yuzawa is unique as it's directly connected to the GALA Yuzawa train station, which is just a 75-minute shinkansen (bullet train) ride from Tokyo. This convenience makes it one of the most accessible ski resorts for a day trip. The resort offers a variety of slopes suitable for all levels, efficient lift systems, and equipment rentals.

Fujiyama Snow Resort Yeti is about a 2-hour car ride from Tokyo and is known for its early opening dates, sometimes as early as October. The resort features four different slopes and special family-friendly areas. With Mount Fuji as a backdrop, it provides a picturesque setting for your ski day.

Both resorts allow you to maximize your time on the snow and return to Tokyo by evening, making them ideal for spontaneous day trips or tight schedules.
