We always recommend Central Snow Sports. Great quality gear, and they will come and pick you up at your accommodation, take you to get outfitted and then deliver you back again once you’re set up. Booking in advance isn’t absolutely essential (things can be sorted out here on the ground as well) but may be advisable if you’re visiting during peak season or have people with unusually large feet etc.

Top quality ski and board rentals as well as tune-ups, boot fitting,  waxing and a good selection of retail wear.  Located in the Wadano Visitors Centre, a short walk from Morino Lodge Hakuba.

A local option, again with great gear and English speaking service. They do not offer pick up and drop off service so you will have to make your way to one of their convenient locations. Please ask us if their location would be convenient for you.

The best choice for all levels, both boarders and skiiers. Their main home is at the Iimori lift area of Goryu, which is the most beginner friendly area in the valley. Of course, they also have access to terrain suiting any ability, from beginner to advanced and have very qualified instructors and guides.
