Why Japan is Australia’s Favourite Snow Holiday Destination

Australians seeking the ultimate ski adventure need look no further than Japan. Recent research by Compare the Market confirms Japan's reign as the top international ski destination for Aussies, and with good reason

Japan's allure is undeniable. Its proximity to Australia translates to short flights with minimal jetlag, thanks to similar time zones. Plus, the convenience of overnight flights allows you to be carving fresh powder by lunchtime the next day! 

Japan also boasts an impressive network of over 450 ski resorts catering to all skill levels. While legendary destinations like Niseko, Hakuba, and Nozawa Onsen hold a special place in many skiers' hearts, they represent just a fraction of the incredible options available. Whether you're a novice taking your first tentative turns or a seasoned skier seeking challenging terrain, Japan has something to offer everyone, and exceptional English-language ski instruction ensures a smooth learning experience for beginner skiers. 

However, with Japan's soaring popularity comes the challenge of securing ideal accommodation during peak seasons. The first weeks of the year see especially high demand, with popular resorts like Nozawa Onsen and Hakuba filling up well in advance. Early booking is crucial, especially for Nozawa Onsen, where securing accommodations a year prior is recommended.
