Ski Japan Guide is a large-scale premium website supported by a professional web design and marketing company - www.iponicsjapan.com.  Iponics Japan is part of the global Iponics group and was established in early 2001 by the original founder of Ski Japan Guide, Andrew Lea, and the UK Iponics Group.  Andrew, now Managing Director of Iponics Japan, still oversees many aspects of Ski Japan Guide.

Our content and writing is provided by the Ski Japan Guide Team (based throughout Japan and with over 60 years of experience in Japan), Japanese ski resorts themselves (although they have absolutely no editorial input), the Japanese ski and snowboard industries, and of course our readers who contribute reviews and stories.  The new interactive features of the site will only encourage more participation by our users.

We provide information that cannot easily be found elsewhere either on the web or in print, making Ski Japan Guide an essential guide to people wanting to hit the Japanese slopes.  This, along with our total commitment to providing an independent and high quality service, has made Ski Japan Guide highly reputable website and one of the most popular English language "Japan" sites with the foreign community.  Furthermore, we also now attract an increasing number of English-reading Japanese.

Our users are, by their very nature, active and outgoing and range from young skiers and snowboarders who come to Japan for short periods of time to very high-spending expatriate families, who wish to make the most of their winter in Japan and need to know how to go about doing that.  We do not allow "just anyone" to advertise on the site, and want to keep it that way in the interests of our users and our partners.  We do welcome advertising enquiries from all companies who are keen to have the attention of the surprisingly large active foreign market in Japan and those interested in and visiting the country.

Thank you.
