Wakasa Ski Holiday Packages

When the mountains are calling, land yourself a snow pile of savings with one of our Wakasa ski holiday packages. Show off your slick moves during the day, join the après-ski scene after sundown and do things your way with Expedia. Wakasa is among Japan's most popular winter destinations. Around 5 ski runs of different levels operate between December and April every year. Snap your boots on and get set for downhill and powder skiing. First-timer? There's at least one beginners' area where you can practice your skills. All the gear you need can be rented from the ski village. When it's time to leave the slopes and pop out of your skis, head over to the resort's health spa. It's the perfect place to recharge following hours of downhill action. Snowboarding is another awesome way to spend your time at this resort. Whether you're on a break with pals or a family ski holiday in Wakasa, there's an activity to keep everyone entertained.

How To Get Around

If you've reserved one of our Wakasa holiday packages, there's a good chance you'll fly into Kansai International Airport. From here, it's two and a half hours to get to this leading ski destination. Driving from the centre of Wakasa to the ski trails takes 10 minutes and you can park for free. For safety on the roads during the winter months, snow chains are recommended. Purchase a family-pass, season-pass, full-day or half-day ticket and get your next snowy adventure underway. It's a cinch to save on your ski holiday with Expedia's Wakasa ski package deals. Combine your flights, hotel and car rental and use the spare cash in your pocket for good times on the slopes.
