In case you prefer places that are nearer Tokyo, there are Karuizawa, Minakami Kogen, Hakuba....just to name a few. There are too many to name because 80% of the Japanese land is mountainous, so it's almost made for winter sports!

I've never been to Niseko, unfortunately, but I'd love to!
I also loved the snow at Hakuba, Nozawa Onsen, Myoko Kogen, and Akakura Onsen, which are located in the Shin'etsu region (Niigata and Nagano).
