About the Resort
Karuizawa is the easiest big-name ski resort from central Tokyo—about an hour by Hokuriku Shinkansen—and sits right by Karuizawa Station. Thanks to extensive snowmaking, it’s among the first in Nagano to open each season, with a bright, sunny, family-friendly vibe and plenty of English support. The vast Prince Shopping Plaza next to the slopes adds dining and retail right at the base.
Why You'll Love Karuizawa Prince Hotel Ski Resort
About Tak
I'm a Tokyo-based snowboarder with more than 20 years on the slopes. As a father of two, I enjoy riding natural terrain and side hits, and I'm passionate about helping international visitors discover the best of Japan's ski resorts. Off the slopes, I love family time, dogs, and soaking in Japanese onsen.
