Was looking at a last minute trip to Japan in Tokyo over NYE and thinking of taking the week after to ski. Any recommendations or tips on housing, ski resorts, restaurants and transport? I’ll be coming from the US & have an Ikon pass, so I was looking at Niseko and Lotte Arai primarily.

I highly recommend Niseko for NYE. Tokyo is pretty boring during New Years as it’s not celebrating like in the west. Most people stay with family and go to the shrine ad midnight or on January 1st.

Lotte Arai is nice for a day or 2 as it’s very small and has limitations for hotel options and restaurants.

You better ski during NYE and go to Tokyo for a few days after January 4th.

I’d look into getting a Japan rail pass too. It’s only for foreigners and can cut down in train costs
