What are the advantages of taking the ski and snowboard instructor certification?

With a ski instructor certificate, you can apply for a ski instructor work visa in Japan

Because it is currently easier to apply for a visa with an international ski instructor certificate, all official ski schools currently require a ski instructor certificate.

Why take the Kagura exam in Yuzawa?

Yuzawa has convenient transportation and is very convenient to travel from Tokyo. In addition, there are many accommodation options near Kagura Ski Resort, which are not as popular as those near Yuzawa Station.
