Drop your bags, skis, boards and boots in one of our comfortable private cars and ride directly to the doorstep of your resort in peace. You can spend the journey catching up on some sleep or making plans for all that powder with your group, and arrive rested and ready to go. It can be a long journey, and if you'd like to break it up with a stop for lunch at a local restaurant or some sightseeing along the way, this can be factored into your trip.

We want our guests to get the most out of their trip to Japan and its world class ski resorts, and our ski transfers offer the simplest and most stress-free way to do it.
