I teach snowboarding in a heavy snowfall area in Yuzawa, that is an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen.
The venue is in a ski resort located in the town of Yuzawa in Niigata Prefecture, which is a heavy snowfall area that can be reached from Tokyo in just over an hour by bullet train.
I am a Japanese guy and I have a snowboarding certification at the second level. I speak fluent English. I am a CPA of the U.S. I lived in Manhattan and Philadelphia for two years previously.
The lesson is suitable for beginners. Below is an example of the itinerary.
