With an average accumulated snowfall of over 10 meters, Cupid Valley boasts exceptional snow quality!
Located in Joetsu City, where skiing was first introduced to Japan, it's one of the world's heaviest snowfall regions. On some nights, snowfall exceeds 100cm, making it a true powder paradise. This season, the newly constructed No. 2 quad ski lift has been completed, and high-speed lifts ensure excellent access to the slopes.
