Cost, insurance and medicines
Rescue costs
The terms of use bill rescue only in defined cases. Anyone who breaks the terms and is rescued from a no-ski area (outside the course, including closed courses) is charged, after the rescue, all search and rescue costs: labour, snow-machine costs, lift operation, lighting power and anything else, calculated by the company's own standard. No rate table is published. The trail map repeats that rescue and search outside the boundary is at the skier's expense, and the safety page says the cost of rescue requested from outside the course or area is the person's to pay, whether or not a climbing plan was filed. Separately, the company claims from a rule-breaking skier any loss or cost an accident causes it, and staff may take back the lift ticket without a refund from someone who leaves the area. The terms say nothing about a charge for patrol first aid on an open course, so that is not established.
As of 2026-10-13
Japan's National Health Insurance does not cover tourists — hospitals bill the full cost and generally expect payment upfront by cash or card. Ordinary travel insurance often excludes off-piste and backcountry rescue; dedicated mountain-rescue insurance exists, so check your policy before you ride.

Some common medicines are restricted in Japan — e.g. codeine-containing products, pseudoephedrine above set limits, and ADHD stimulants — and may require advance permission to bring in. Check the MHLW guidance before you travel.
