Catch a train to Ogawamachi Station and check out the ski shop district.
Walk down the street and have an explore.

There is shops on both sides of the main street and down the surrounding side streets.

Victoria

Victoria is the largest store on the street and has 7 floors and shopping and an 8th floor for ski and board mantenance.

A one stop shop, Victoria has eveything you'll need to stay warm throughout winter.

Fuso

Fuso is our number one recommendation for purchasing ski boots for the winter.

Whether you're after the latest and greatest in boot technology or looking to snag a deal on some discounted last season boots.
Their boot fitters have years of experience and are great at what they do.

Vail

Can't seem to found the powder skis you're looking for amoungst Japan's rampant snowboard culture?

Try Vail.
Not the largest shop on the strip but whenever I'm looking for a particular set of skis. They usually have it on their racks.

Nagano

Xebio

In Nagano?

Head to Xebio for a large selection of snow gear and skis.
They've go everything you need. Not just for winter sports, but everything from new show insoles to camping equipment.

Iiyama & Madarao

S-Cube

S-Cube is the local sports store in Iiyama.

A small selection fit for a small town, S-Cube has a standard selection of gear but is convenient for emergency purchases and those small items you can't find up on the mountain.

Tangram Ski Shop

A very small selection, but nontheless the largest on the mountain.

The ski shop at Tangram offers only clothing and excessories, so not suitable for larger gear.
Perfect for buying some new goggles or a better pair of gloves.
