Where can I go skiing in Saitama?
Saitama does not have any natural ski slopes. The only place you can currently ski indoors is the Sayama Ski Resort by Seibu, in Tokorozawa. Its location makes it the closest place to Tokyo that you can ski, but it is an artificial ski slope. But as it is an artificial slope you can ski as early as the end of October.
The dates of the ski season at the resort have not yet been set for the 2020 / 2021 season (September 24th 2020)
