Ski Lessons Nozawa Onsen – Lesson Registration Form

We have a team of expert, English-speaking instructors with experience in both skiing and snowboarding. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced rider, they’re here to help you progress with confidence and have fun on the mountain.

• Prices are charged per instructor, not per person. Private lessons can include up to four students, with an additional fee for each extra participant. For guiding sessions, the same rate applies for groups of up to eight people, provided everyone is at a similar ability level.

• Please wait for confirmation from the Ski School Manger before making payment for lessons.

Note: Group lessons for kids are scheduled to run throughout January. Closer to the time, if we have the resources, we may extend the program beyond January. If you’re visiting outside this period and only have a few kids in your group, a private lesson can be great value and offer more personalised attention.

Book Your Private Lesson – Ski Board Lessons Nozawa Onsen

Kids Ski Group Lessons – Little Takas.  Open for all kids age 5 to 12 for limited time. 

They say you’re never too old to start skiing—but starting young definitely helps! Nozawa Onsen is a fantastic destination for families, and skiing is a great way for everyone to enjoy the snow together.

We’ll be offering beginner to intermediate group lessons for kids every day throughout January. To join a group lesson, we ask for a minimum commitment of 3 full days. If that doesn’t suit your plans, no problem—you’re welcome to book a private lesson instead or email us to discuss options. If there’s not enough demand for a group on your selected dates, we’ll happily offer you a discounted private lesson as an alternative.

Thinking of other dates outside January? Let us know! If we have at least 2 students, we’re happy to run a group class.

For kids/teen snowboard lessons, please email lessonsnozawaholidays@gmail.com or contact on +819067482564 for further information.

Important Notes for Kids Group Lessons:
To join group lessons, kids must be able to start, stop, get up on their own, and make basic turning movements. This ensures they can safely participate and enjoy the group experience. First-timers who have never skied or snowboarded before will need to start with a private lesson until they reach a suitable level for group participation. Please note that some lessons may combine age groups depending on skill levels and group sizes.
