Tokyo

Tokyo works as both a destination in its own right and the gateway to Japan's best-known ski regions, with the Joetsu and Hokuriku Shinkansen lines running from Tokyo Station to the snowfields of Niigata and Nagano in under two hours. For groups departing Dubai, the direct overnight flights into Haneda land close to the city centre, allowing a group to be at a briefing in Shinjuku the same morning.
