Japan Stopovers
Come for the snow stay for the culture!
If you have time to add a few days in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto to your snow holiday you will not regret it! Whilst you will get to experience a taste of Japan if you just travel to the snow, the real Japan awaits beyond the ski resort boundaries.
PLEASE NOTE, WE CAN ONLY PROVIDE TRAVEL SERVICES TO EXISTING CLIENTS AND THOSE JOINING US FOR TOURS, GUIDING & LESSONS
Visiting the Geisha city of Kyoto, wandering through the bright lights of Tokyo or simply taking in the countryside as you speed along on a bullet train will add that special something to your trip and give you a taste of what makes Japan unique.
Whiteroom can add in any pre or post tour Japan travels you would like. Give us a call and we can help you to arrange the best ski and cultural holiday.
Japan
Population: 125 million
TOKYO
Tokyo is a sprawling metropolis of 39 million people which encapsulates all aspects of Japan. You can catch a glimpse of future technology in Akihabara, or get swept up in the fast pace life and energy of the city in Shibuya. Visit an ancient temple and catch a glimpse of traditional life in Asakusa, shop to your hearts content in Shinjuku, and feel the pulse of the underground fashion style scene in Harajuku.
KYOTO
Kyoto is over 1200 years old and for 1000 years was the capital of Japan. Today Kyoto is Japan’s cultural epicentre with many of the buildings and temples dating back several hundred years. Due to the cultural significance of the city, Kyoto was spared during air raids in World War II.
Osaka
Tokyo’s smaller hip cousin, Osaka is a vibrant, outgoing foodie city – stay here if you want to be in a modern city with lots of lively night time bar and restaurant options.
Sapporo
Famous for its yearly Snow Festival in early February, Sapporo is a great city to visit pre/post snow, and your gateway to Hokkaido via nearby Chitose Airport.
