TRAVEL INSURANCE
Having adequate travel insurance cover is an essential part of any travel and especially for ski holidays. It’s highly recommended to take out an insurance policy at the time you make a booking and pay the deposit. This enables you to get immediate coverage on things like cancellation fees if you are forced to cancel in certain circumstances.

DON'T WAIT TO GET COVERED
Booking in advance allows for unforeseen circumstances, so SkiJapan.com advises securing travel insurance immediately after paying your deposit. Guests are responsible for arranging insurance through a nearby provider.
Travel insurance is a cost-effective safeguard against potential medical expenses abroad. We recommend booking coverage with a local insurer to ensure a worry-free travel experience.
