Japan’s ski season runs from late October to mid-May. The first resorts open on man-made snow near Tokyo in late October, Hokkaido opens in late November, most of Honshu follows in December, and a handful keep skiing through Golden Week, with Kagura in Niigata open until 16 May 2027. The deep powder that made “JAPOW” famous falls mainly in January and February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide to the Japan ski season<\/strong> lists the opening and closing dates of 36 resorts for 2026\u201327, from Niseko and Furano to Hakuba, Myoko and Zao, with lift prices, access and night skiing. 25 resorts have published their 2026\u201327 dates; for the rest we show last season’s dates, clearly labelled, until the new ones are out.<\/p>\n\n\n

When does ski season start in Japan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Short answer:<\/strong> late October on snowmaking at Snow Park Yeti (23 October 2026) and Karuizawa Prince (31 October); late November in Hokkaido (Sapporo Teine 21 November, Niseko, Furano and Kiroro 28 November); and early to mid December across Nagano, Niigata, Tohoku and Gunma. Opening dates always depend on snow, and every resort says so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
