More Than Skiing.
A Family Adventure in Japan.

Absolutely! DIVE INTO SNOW is specifically designed for children who are new to snow and skiing.

The program begins with snow play and discovery activities before introducing beginner-friendly ski lessons with bilingual support.

Children can learn at their own pace in a supportive environment.

Not at all! Our local dive in LIFE team can pick up your children from the hotel, accompany them to the ski resort, and bring them back after their activities.

You're free to enjoy some quality time — whether that means relaxing, working remotely, or exploring the local area.

Of course, parents are also welcome to accompany their children if they prefer.

Shuttle bus transportation fees are not included in the package and are payable separately.

Absolutely! Families with babies and toddlers are welcome.

While children aged 3–10 participate in the ski program, our childcare team can look after younger siblings aged 0–2 during the morning activities.

Childcare support is included in your family package at no additional cost.

Please let us know your children's ages in advance so we can discuss suitable childcare arrangements.

Not at all! Your child doesn't need to speak Japanese to join DIVE INTO SNOW.

Our bilingual team provides English-language support throughout the children's activities, helping them feel comfortable as they experience skiing and interact with local Japanese children.

Language differences can also be part of the fun, as children connect through skiing, play, and shared experiences.

That's one of the special things about visiting Japan in late March and early April!

During this period, families may have the opportunity to enjoy skiing at Gransnow Okuibuki while cherry blossoms begin to bloom in nearby areas.

We've carefully selected the program dates to offer this unique combination of winter and spring experiences.

Please note that ski conditions and cherry blossom timing are influenced by weather and seasonal conditions and may vary from year to year.

Daily breakfast at the hotel and a farewell lunch on the final day are included in your package.

Other lunches and dinners are not included, giving your family the flexibility to explore local restaurants and enjoy Japanese cuisine at your own pace.

No, renting a car is not necessary to join DIVE INTO SNOW.

You can reach Nagahama from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) or Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) using public transportation.

During the ski program, our local team can accompany your children between the hotel and the ski resort, so parents don't need to drive.

Airport transfers and local transportation costs are not included in the package. Our team can provide guidance on available transportation options.

Your child will be supported by our local dive in LIFE team throughout the ski activities.

Our bilingual instructors provide beginner-friendly ski lessons, with an approximate instructor-to-child ratio of 1:5.

The dive in LIFE team also includes qualified childcare professionals and has welcomed more than 1,000 Japanese families through its children's programs since 2021.

We aim to create a comfortable, supportive environment where children can enjoy new experiences at their own pace.

Yes! DIVE INTO SNOW is specifically designed for young children experiencing snow and skiing for the first time.

Gransnow Okuibuki is one of western Japan's well-known ski resorts, typically operating through early April. In addition to natural snowfall, the resort uses snowmaking technology to help maintain skiable conditions during the warmer spring season.

Our program focuses on beginner-friendly areas rather than advanced slopes, allowing children to enjoy their first snow and ski experiences in a supportive environment.

Late March and early April also offer a special opportunity to combine skiing with Japan's beautiful cherry blossom season, with conditions and blooming times varying naturally from year to year.
