It takes 10 minutes to get to the runs from the middle of Sonohara, and parking is free. If you're driving during the winter months, snow chains are recommended. Secure a full-day ticket and then begin crafting the rest of your exciting ski holiday. Preparing for a snowy getaway is effortless with Expedia's Sonohara ski package deals. Bundle your hotel, flights and a car rental and have extra cash to spend on thrilling adventures.
