Plan your trip
Yeti Ski Resort is the only ski resort on Mt Fuji's southeastern flank in Shizuoka — typically Japan's earliest-opening resort each season (mid-October), thanks to heavy snowmaking. ~2 hrs from Tokyo.
Trains, shuttles, and rentals from the airport.
Direct ski bus from Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya) to Yeti — the easiest access from the city.
Hand-picked stays across the resort's two zones.
Hakone onsen ryokan, Gotemba business hotels, and the Mt Fuji Five Lakes lakeside hotels.
Pass, lessons, gear, and guides for powder days.
Adult 1-day ¥4,500. Heavy snowmaking lets Yeti open mid-October — typically the first resort in Japan to open each season.
