We visited Fujiten Snow Resort with our toddler who had never seen snow before, and it turned out to be such a special experience.
What we really appreciated was being able to access the open snow area at no cost. It meant we could gently introduce her to snow without committing to activities straight away.
After that, we paid a small fee to enter the kids park area, which was perfect for little ones. It felt safe, manageable, and fun — a great next step once she was more comfortable. Even though we didn’t take part in many of the bigger activities, the flexibility made the day stress-free and enjoyable.
Overall, it was a fantastic first snow experience for our family and absolutely worth the visit.
We visited Fujiten Snow Resort on a Sunday morning, February 1, 2026—and as expected for a weekend in Japan, the place was already buzzing with both local and international visitors. Yet the moment you arrive, it’s easy to understand why. This is an authentic ski and snowboard resort where you can carve down the slopes with Mount Fuji standing majestically right in front of you.
Located at the northern foot of Mount Fuji at an altitude of around 1,300–1,500 meters above sea level, Fujiten offers a well-balanced mix of trails for beginners, intermediate riders, and more advanced skiers. There’s also a dedicated snow park filled with fun features and rides, making it appealing even for those who aren’t here purely for speed or technique.
For families, the Chibikko Island area is a standout. Designed specifically for younger children and elementary school–age kids, it’s safe, cheerful, and thoughtfully laid out—an excellent option for parents who want their children to experience snow play without stress.
One of Fujiten’s biggest advantages is accessibility. From central Tokyo, it takes only about an hour and a half to reach, making it a very realistic day trip. Yes, it gets crowded on weekends—but everything runs efficiently, and the lively atmosphere adds to the excitement rather than detracting from it.
If you’re looking for a snow experience that combines real skiing, family-friendly fun, and one of Japan’s most iconic views, Fujiten Snow Resort is hard to beat. Skiing with Mount Fuji as your backdrop is something you don’t forget easily—and that alone makes the trip worth it.
A small snow resort with artificial snow. We visited on 26/12/25 and sadly there was no natural snow but our boys had great fun skiing and boarding and going up the ski lift to do the single run that was available.
The resort has everything available for you to hire.
Inside if a large food hall where hot food and coffee awaits, with large viewing windows outside to the ski run and mountain behind.
A tourist shop that stocks everything Fuji!
For beginner to intermediate level, have three suitable routes to try. The higer level routes (esat and west) are 25 degree and 30 degree.
Enjoyed the Mount Fuji view with the artificial snow which quality was unexpectedly okay. Cannot ask for more as there was no snow in the this area in Dec and Jan at all.
There are restaurant and toilet in the middle of the trail. Very convenient!!!
After buying the lift ticket on the first day, we can buy online with the ticket number online on the second day. And it's cheaper!
I came here on April 31, 2026, I didn't have much hope that there would be no snow, but it turned out there was still some snow left and they said it was made of artificial snow. Just enjoy it It was very cold and windy, even though it wasn't the right season. There was ski equipment and souvenirs.
