Our Story

"We believe that every moment a snowflake falls is a memory worth cherishing."

Visnow Ski Club was founded by two ski instructors and professional photographers who have lived in Japan for many years and are passionate about skiing. We want to share the beauty of life in the snow with everyone and have chosen this dreamy destination as our base.

Visnow is not just a ski school - it's a place where every lesson is an invitation to pause, connect, and experience the present fully. Here, we're all about helping you carve your own path more than just turns on the snow; we aim to help you carve out moments of pure presence, joy and adventure.
