Funny how no one has mentioned that an an hour or two by shinkansen from Tokyo will reach Naeba in Niigata prefecture for powdery snow skiing.
But do not go during the Christmas holiday, a lot of travel criss-crossing among the Japanese to visit their hometown results in "orderly" near-chaos.
Try to go during the Chinese New Year when everything including airfare is so affordable.
