Greetings from Takako Ishii

Licensed Ski Instructor of Ski Association of Japan

I’ve been teaching skiing in Hakuba for 10 years to many guests from all over the world.
I started skiing when I was 2 or 3 years old. I was born in Osaka, but I started going to Hakuba since I was a high school student. Since then, I have been fascinated by Hakuba.

I've competed in many technical skiing competitions in Japan, and now I'm obsessed with back country skiing in powder snow.

I learned English from a British teacher at a catholic school and I lived in the United States for 2 years. Of course, I didn't forget to ski in the US!
After I came back from the US, I started working in an English conversation school in Tokyo.
I have long time experience teaching children English, so I am good at interacting with children.

I often hike up the ridges around Hakuba to find exciting skiing on my time off and enjoy hiking with snowshoes on the snow field.

In the summertime, I guide people to the Japanese Alps as a licensed mountain guide of Nagano.

It is my great pleasure to teach not only the people in Japan, but also the people from all over the world about the charms of Hakuba throughout the season.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in Hakuba!

Greetings from Naomi Yumoto

Licensed Ski Instructor of SAJ

Hello, everybody!
I’m Naomi Yumoto. I'm from Osaka, Japan, I was born and raised there. I have lived in Nagano prefecture for almost 30 years, enjoying skiing and teaching English.
I've been teaching English to wide age group from 3-year-old children to their 60's, 70's and 80's for more than 26 years. It's really fun to meet new prople.
My first ski experience was when I was 13 years old. Skiing has been my favorite sport since then. I even moved to Hakuba to ski! I taught skiing for a couple of years right after moving here.
I love English, skiing and traveling as well. I have visited Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, India and Canada and lived in Seattle in the US, where I studied English, for a year.
Steve Jobs, a cofounder of Apple, once said in his famous speech, "You can connect two dots somehow in your life when looking back." I think that the two dots for me are skiing and English.
I'm so thrilled to start working as one of the ski instructors of F-style this coming winter season. It would be wonderful if I could help you make your stay in Hakuba more enjoyable by teaching skiing in English. I can't wait to see you!

"Having skied across the globe in Switzerland, France, Austria, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, I can confidently say that the expert instruction I received in Hakuba was unparalleled.

Recommendation from Lewis

"If you're seeking an outstanding skiing school, Mr. Tsunokai's F-style Ski School is undoubtedly your best choice.
My wife and I are skiing enthusiasts from Taiwan. We attended a two-day private skiing coaching lesson and joined a two-day skiing camp during the 23/24 season. I must say, it was a remarkable skiing experience. We both gained invaluable insights and techniques that significantly improved our skiing abilities.

First and foremost, the instructors at F-style are top-notch. Led by the legendary Masahito Tsunokai (角皆優人) himself, their team is not only highly skilled but also incredibly passionate about skiing.

Secondly, their skiing camp was also superb. We were impressed by their organization and activity arrangements. From preparation to actual skiing, every aspect was well-planned, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the joy of skiing. Moreover, attending the camp provided opportunities to meet other skiing enthusiasts, exchange expertise, and enrich the overall experience.

Lastly, we must highlight their dedication to safety. Whether during private coaching lessons or the ski camp, they prioritize the safety of participants. Coaches ensured everyone could enjoy skiing in a secure environment.

Overall, Masahito's F-style Ski School left a lasting impression on us.
We have already booked our private coaching lessons for the 24/25 skiing season. If you're looking to elevate your skiing skills and have an unforgettable winter adventure, I highly recommend enrolling in their private coaching lessons and camps. You won't be disappointed!
