Compare Ikenotaira family bundles before buying separate tickets

Open tip ↗

The operator's 2026/27 page lists Family A at JPY 10,000 for one adult and one elementary-school child, and Family B at JPY 16,300 for two adults and one elementary-school child. Additional elementary-school children cost JPY 3,700 each. Check the children's school-age category; preschool lift access is listed as free. Ask which ticket duration and dates the family bundle covers before paying. Budget separately for the refundable JPY 500 IC-card deposit and return the cards to reclaim it. Compare the bundle with the exact individual tickets your group qualifies for. The My Number discount requires the physical card at purchase or collection; the smartphone credential is not accepted. It is not a general visitor discount. For a short ski day, also compare four-hour tickets, then include rentals, lessons, meals and transport. Confirm current prices, eligibility and operating terrain before booking.
