Japan Itinerary January 2024

Hi Everyone,

This is my second time to Japan (after visiting Tokyo Kyoto Osaka at spring)

I will be going to explore Kanazawa/Nagano/Takayama for 7days (6nights)
I will start the journey from Osaka into Kanazawa,

First 2 Nights - Kanazawa
Next 2 Nights - Im planning to go Takayama (Yukimurasaki for 2nights)
Afterwards - 2 nights im torn between Matsumoto/Nagano / others

I would think that this would be a great time to try Ski for the first time,
But i have no info right now which is the recommended ski resort, and where to stay.
Kindly advise or share any info i should consider for this !

Thank you very much
Any other suggestions around this itinerary/recommendations are greatly appreciated !

Do Matsumoto and from the Hakuba for skiing.
