Escape the city and experience Japan’s earliest ski season at Yeti Ski Resort, located at Mt. Fuji’s 2nd Station (1,400m elevation). Opening as early as October, Yeti offers four ski courses (A–D), including a 1-km-long slope with a 150-meter elevation difference — ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers alike. Families can also enjoy the snow play area, where kids can sled, build snowmen, and join in friendly snowball fights.

Yeti Ski Resort, located in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, provides consistent snow conditions thanks to advanced snowmaking systems and even offers night skiing under twinkling lights. On clear days, enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay. With ski rentals, lessons, cafés, and family-friendly facilities, it’s one of the most accessible ski destinations from Tokyo — just 1.5 hours away.

Next, visit Hamamatsu Fruit Park Tokinosumika, a vast agricultural park home to over 4,300 fruit trees. Enjoy year-round fruit picking, including strawberries, oranges, and blueberries depending on the season. After your harvest, unwind in the park’s relaxing hot spring spa, a perfect way to end your winter day surrounded by nature.

This full-day winter getaway combines snow adventure, Mt. Fuji views, fruit picking, and onsen relaxation — an unforgettable experience for travelers of all ages.
