Hi, I'm starting to book our family ski holiday to Japan (have also been in Feb 2023 & feb 2025)
We absolutely loved our previous trip to Nagano area and feel so lucky to visit Japan to ski from Australia. I realise that it is getting SO busy and popular, so booking early ... does anyone know more about the accommodation timing and if it's too early for some Japanese Ryokans to take bookings? Rakuten seems to not be taking bookings now for Feb 2027. Booking.com is very booked out- probs largely because of the free cancellation policies? I appreciate any advice...
