Whether you crave some peace and quiet among snowy landscapes or prefer to hurtle down the perfectly groomed slopes, our Shinjo ski holiday packages offer something for everyone. One of the most well-known winter destinations in Japan, Shinjo is home to around 3 runs that are open between December and March every year. Get ready for fun-filled days of downhill skiing. If you need gear, you can rent it from the ski village. There's also at least one beginners' area where you can squeeze in some training sessions first. After a thrilling day of snow-based activities, stop by the day spa here. Pamper yourself with a rejuvenating massage to soothe tired muscles. The entire gang will be kept busy on your family ski holiday in Shinjo, with exciting activities such as tobogganing, snowboarding and night skiing on offer too.

How To Get Around

Many ski travellers who select one of our Shinjo holiday packages jet into Yamagata Airport. From there, it's one hour before you're rocketing down the slopes of Shinjo's best runs. Driving from the heart of Shinjo to the ski runs takes 15 minutes and free parking is available. To be safe on the roads in the winter months, snow chains are recommended. Start the ball rolling on your ski holiday by securing a full-day ticket. When you're ready to put together the rest of your break, browse Expedia's Shinjo ski package deals.
