Hi everyone,

I'm a British ryuugakusei studying in Fukuoka, Kyushu for a year and I desperately need to go skiing in Japan this winter!

I was looking at the options and I have been recommended Hiroshima as it's pretty close and could be a cheaper option but I am worried it won't be up to scratch!
I've skied in some of the best places in Europe such as the Four Valleys in France and I like tough slopes so I'm hoping for somewhere good!

Does anyone know anything about these locations (Hiroshima, Nagano or Sapporo)?
Can anyone recommend me some websites for finding cheap domestic flights? (Eng or Japanese is ok)
I'm not filthy rich so I will have to budget but I was hoping to spend around £500/75k yen max for the trip if possible.
I'd like to skii for around five days and I'll need to rent skiis and boots.

If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Martin
