Niseko and Hakuba in Japan are fast becoming two of the world’s most popular destinations for winter sports enthusiasts. Over the last ten years both resorts have seen rapid growth in visitor numbers, which means a holiday to either place is no longer something that can be achieved on a whim. Instead, those who wish to ride some of the world’s most reliable powder need to book early to secure their spot. On the upside, however, there’s many advantages to being on the ball when it comes to organising your Japan ski trip!

Get your First Choice in Accommodation
According to a leading Japan travel agent … “It’s more important now than ever before to book early in Japan. Nowadays it’s the only way you can guarantee you’ll get what you want.” The ski season is relatively short and it doesn’t take long for the most popular months (December, January and February) to fill up completely, so getting in early is especially important for those who have specific accommodation needs. For example you may require bunk rooms for the kids, particular cooking facilities or want to be as close to the slopes as possible. If you wait too long then it’s likely you’ll find yourself compromising or missing out all together.
Book now and Save
Tour companies, agents and accommodation owners are keen to finalise their rooms quickly so they can plan for the winter season ahead, so you’re far more likely make a decent saving if you book now. So start researching online to find the best early bird discounts!
Cheaper Ways to Fly
You have a better chance of getting the cheapest possible flight if you reserve a seat sooner rather than later. Flights will get more expensive as people keep buying tickets. It’s also not a good idea to sit and wait for any sales because two of the best months, December and January, are ‘black out’ months so discount prices rarely apply during these times.
Save now so you can spend
The earlier you book, the longer you’ll have to save for your holiday! A ski holiday is never just about the snow, so the more money you have the better equipped you’ll be to make the most of Niseko and Hakuba’s famous bars, restaurants and shops.
