4 out of 5 stars Excellent and utterly comprehensive... in 1993!   September 10, 2001
The author evidently went everywhere and skied every piste. He meticulously records all the useful information (including piste maps) and writes a little description of each resort. This is a bible for those of us who live in Japan and are keen skiers.

I wish they would publish an updated version as things have moved on a bit now.


5 out of 5 stars Insightful look at Japan   July 29, 1998

T.R. Reid was/is a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post based in Tokyo and is talked into going on a ski vacation. This is the beginning of an adventure and after much research we have his new book. There are about 500 ski resorts in Japan and many of them are small by international standards. Reid gives an interesting historical oversight of the Japanese ski industry and the internal politics today as well as normal travel information. It is well worth reading even if you are not planning a visit.
