Kiroro Peak Japan

Club Med Kiroro Peak delivered an unforgettable winter getaway! From start to finish, the experience was elevated by our phenomenal instructors, Sina and Mecaella. Sina’s technical expertise transformed my snowboarding she fine-tuned my stances and helped on my carving technique to almost perfection. Meanwhile, Mecaella’s playful energy made mastering powder snow maneuvers feel like a thrilling adventure rather than a lesson.

Beyond the slopes, the Club Med team brought the resort to life every evening with their infectious energy. Whether it was lively après-ski events or creative nightly entertainment, their dedication to fun never wavered. A perfect blend of skill-building and pure joy—highly recommend!

We visited Kiroro Peak a second time this season. Our December 2024 was a winterful Christmas vacation, and the Blizzard of Oz visited Akaigawa for a March Madness of powder conditions like my Line Blades have never seen!

Combined with the relatively short queues and Yutaro’s talented ski team I was able to put down fresh tracks on every powder path on Kiroro Peak. Kudos to my two amazing ski instructors - Tom who boldly took our Club 6 crew to places I would not have found skiing solo and Soo a Club 5 sensei who Mr. Miyagi’d a few of my bad habits that seem to resurface after a few months away from the slopes.

Apart from the skiing we always love the ski in ski-out convenience with slope-side heated lockers that take the undesirable parts out of the skiing experience. And speaking of convenience the restaurant is a short walk upstairs and always has tables available with incredible Hokkaido-sourced cuisine along with a rotating variety of dishes from Japan and Asia. Kudos to the Head Chef Vincent on elevating his game with the fabulous food. I also have to recognize the Food and Beverage Manager Elsa and the Restaurant Manager Karesh who came regularly to our table to chat and even surprised us with a special dish of grilled prawns from Vincent. Two restaurant staff Maki and Bindu seemed to always be there and check on our every need!

Also, the trip would not have gone as smoothly if it were not for Emily the Room Manager and Agathe who both helped with a return voucher we won at Christmas. Emily’s regular emails helped guide the reservation process and made a seamless return trip. And the front desk staff of Michael and Beste facilitated an easy check-in and checkout as well as any questions we had during our stay.

I also want to recognize ski and snowboard instructors Yukari, JJ, Ryan, and Mersila and bar extraordinaire Yosuke. Dining and hanging out in the bar with these GO’s and others made for some brilliant evenings. The French Band was awesome, and listening to John was one of our favorite parts of the evening!

Lastly, we tip our hats to Tatiana. As Chief of the Village, she sets the tone for the GO staff. From singing and performing on stage to looking after every detail of the operations we are amazed at her warmth and infectious energy. The staff GO’s certainly reflect the positive leadership and your amazing voice is both entertaining and inspiring! We will make it a point to visit any village that you manage in the future.

Unfortunately, during the whirlwind of a week, I couldn’t recall every one of the friendly staff that shined. But our stay certainly wouldn’t have been the fabulous vacation we experienced without all their collective hospitality. Can’t wait until the next Club Med adventure!

I had a fantastic experience at Club Med Kiroro Peak! As a beginner, I was nervous about snowboarding, but my instructor King made it easy. He was friendly, professional, and gave clear, helpful tips to improve my skills. Thanks to his guidance, I picked up snowboarding quickly. The resort is very convenient, with lockers and the slopes just outside. The food was varied and delicious, making every meal enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay, and I highly recommend it!

Club med has once again made my stay and experience a very pleasant one. My ski instructor, Colin was excellent. His instructions was very clear and he is patient and encouraging helping us to improve and be safe. He took care and ensure that we feel comfortable with what we do. Mr Yutaro was very helpful and most understanding.

The Food and Beverage team was most attentive and helpful, especially Mari. She would make us feel welcome and ensure that we have our drinks.

The GO had really commit to make our stay enjoyable. Can’t be more impressed with Emily’s performance. She performed professionally and has such a warm personality.

I have been impressed and will be poking my stay with them next year.

Good things about Club Med Kiroro peak:

1. GOs are super friendly and helpful; they helped to arrange dinning booking for us with useful suggestions.
2. One of the bartenders is exceptionally helpful by creating off-menu drinks tailored to our specific requests. She had dinner with us with cheerful talks and sharings.
3. Snowboard instructor Ken was incredibly attentive and tailored his feedback perfectly to my husband's skill level. His constructive comments helped my husband improve his technique. Ken's supportive approach made learning enjoyable.

Things to be improved:

1. We were unable to store our luggage at the Club Med counter while we went to have dinner at the airport. Given our flight delay, it was quite rush to find food, and having the option to leave our bags would have been very helpful.
2. One of the snowboard instructors kept helping a class member (Chinese girl) to make video recording and did not pay much attention to the rest of us. He changed the route and went down the slope since that Chinese girl needed to meet her husband and leave the class.
