Great

Amazing!!!

The scenery from the connecting lift between the former Nekoma Ski Resort and Alts Bandai was absolutely wonderful. It's recommended for everyone, but the slope after getting off the lift at the former Nekoma Ski Resort is not suitable for beginners. The snow quality is excellent, with powder snow. However, be prepared for a wait of over 40 minutes for the lift at the bottom of the former Nekoma Ski Resort.
