The resort caters for all levels and offers the chance to relax at the end of the day in a traditional Japanese hot spring, known as an onsen.

Mountain-goers will be swapping cheese fondues for traditional Japanese favourites, like gyoza and ramen, alongside fusion and international cuisine.

There’s also the opportunity to sample the locally produced sake, Hokkaido wines and specially brewed beers.

“Japan offers a unique and unforgettable skiing experience,” said Crystal Ski’s managing director, Chris Logan.

“Whether it’s knee-deep powder, beautiful bluebird days, a different culture or distinctive cuisine you’re after, you’re bound to make once-in-a-lifetime memories on a ski holiday to Japan.

“We’re so excited to be offering Japan as a new long-haul destination this winter, following our recent launch of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a new, budget-friendly destination for something closer to home.”

Flights are available from Heathrow, departing on Saturdays and Wednesdays.

At the National Snow Show in Birmingham in 2022 visitors to the Crystal Ski stand were able to hear about the new offering to Japan.
