BOOKING INFORMATION
HOKKAIDO SKI LESSON
Before You Book
Please review what is included, lesson arrangements, insurance and cancellation terms.
01｜Lesson Fees
Lesson fees include private instruction and Japanese consumption tax. Lift passes, equipment, ski clothing, transport, meals, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.
Lunch, breaks and equipment rental assistance are included within the booked lesson time.
02｜Insurance and Safety
Snoway Academy holds third-party liability insurance with coverage up to ¥200 million. This does not replace personal travel or ski insurance. We recommend insurance that covers skiing or snowboarding. Guests with injuries, pregnancy, heart conditions or other health concerns should seek medical advice before participating.
03｜Lesson Groups and Timing
Guests sharing a lesson should have similar ability levels. When adults, children or mixed abilities learn together, the lesson will follow the least experienced guest for safety. Each lesson covers either skiing or snowboarding. Separate instructors are required to learn both activities at the same time. Equipment rental assistance, breaks and meals are included within the booked lesson time.
04｜Cancellation, Changes and Refunds
If you need to cancel a confirmed lesson, please contact Snoway Academy as early as possible.

DATE CHANGES
Please contact us as early as possible. Changes depend on instructor availability, resort operations and remaining lesson spaces. Changes are not guaranteed.
Resort Closure and Force Majeure
Skiing and snowboarding are affected by weather, snow and resort operations. Lessons normally continue while the resort remains open and the lesson can safely proceed.
If a guest cancels due to snowfall, strong winds, poor visibility, partial lift closures or personal concerns, the standard cancellation and refund policy will apply.
Only when the resort officially announces a full closure on the lesson date and the lesson cannot proceed will Snoway Academy contact the guest to arrange rescheduling, a change of resort where available, lesson credit or a full refund.
Travel Disruption
If a guest cannot reach the resort because of a cancelled flight or suspended public transport, but the resort remains open and the lesson can proceed, the standard cancellation and refund policy will apply.
Refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing times depend on the card provider or payment platform.
