It's not what you think....
Ok let me start with the bad, be prepared for. Loooong day, but not much activity. Slick advertising, so so,lunch, less than an hour at each attraction and aloooooog bus ride with no Wi-Fi . First thing is the instruction to the meeting area is not very clear, yo must take the west exit in Shibuya and be on the bus level or street level. We couldn't find it just by walking so I used my cell phone app to guide me. Ok now you are at the rally point which is actually the rally point for a number of other tours so you need to look around for your guide, ok found her. You will be assigned a seat . The guide speak very little English ,so they use a CL phone call in system to a translation service they broadcast in the bus, if you have a sense of humor, it's actually funny hearing the lost in translation. Don't be fooled by,the slick advertising , there is,no Wi-Fi available on the bus, this was a major disappointment because I had planned to to,some work on the long ride out to the ski resort. The bus ride was comfortable ,but it took about 2.5 hours to reach the sledding area. There was one restroom stop along the way. Sledding was fun but we only spent less than one hour sledding. It was actually a kiddie snow play land. So if you have young ones I think they will love it, but given the short time there you feel very rushed. Nest stop was lunch, again , don't be fooled by the slick advertising photo, the crab is nothing like pictured, crab were very small pieces, served cold, there was also all,you can eat raw shrimp, a mini hot pot and soba noodles with rice. It was good,but not great, it was all you can eat and the staff were always there to give you more of what you wanted. Snow cave ... Ha! It was just a huge pile,of snow in the restaurant parking lot that some one made a cave out of, looking at the mound I was reluctant to go in for fear of collapse however I suppose it was safe? Onto strawberry picking, ok so before you get to pick strawberry, you stop at the strawberry farm store! And of course they sell everything strawberry , ... Tourist trap thing so if you are a seasoned traveler you been there done that. Strawberry picking, actually it was as advertise, yes it snowing out side but they cultivate strawberry in hot houses so pick away and eat to your hearts content. The bus ride back took over 3 hours, and traffic was a mess. Best part of the day was meeting a family form Hong Kong. Do I recommend it? No, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't what was advertised. 6 hours on a bus for one hour of sledding..you decide.

Awesome experience in the snow! Even...
<p>Awesome experience in the snow! Even though snowfall was heavy, we still had a great first-time experience in the snow. The lunch was spectacular - loved the crab and ate as much we could. Although cold with the snowfall, the tour was fantastic and great!</p>

This course is highly recommended...
<p>This course is highly recommended! Gathering place is at Shinjuku area so it is convenient.<br/> We will email the confirmation voucher to you after you have made a reservation online. Crab and strawberry are in all-you-can-eat style. So you will definitely be satisfied.<br/> Sledding can also be simply experienced at you own personal outfits.</p>

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at ¥11,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 12.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12.3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 12.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Tokyo: Tambara Ski Park Ski & Snowboard Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
