Myoko Ski Schools
Ski Lessons Myoko, Arai & Charmant
One of the best ways to improve your skiing or boarding, plus get a lot more fun out of your holiday, is by taking lessons at one of the Myoko ski schools. Some of local schools have English-speaking staff, with programs covering everything from children’s lessons, group and private lessons, skiing, snowboarding and telemark skiing, to backcountry tours and hiking.
In Myoko Kogen there are a couple of ski schools that are English speaking only. Outside of Myoko Kogen (apart from Arai and Madarao Kogen) English speaking ski instruction is more difficult to find. So perhaps before locking in your accommodation it’s best to explore the links below and ensure you have access to the sort of ski school lessons that you are seeking for your visit to the area.
If you are planning a family ski vacation to the Joetsu Myoko Ski Resorts, it’s a very good idea to register your children early to attend one of the top Myoko Ski Schools.
