Resort features

Located approximately 95 minutes from the city center, this ski resort offers excellent accessibility with a complimentary shuttle bus service from the nearest station. During the night skiing season, the resort operates until 10:00 PM, allowing for a full day of enjoyment. The slopes, serviced by a high-speed quad lift, provide a diverse range of skiing experiences suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skiers. The ascent to the summit, at an elevation of 1,220 meters, is worthwhile for the breathtaking views of Japan's 100 most famous mountains, including Mt. Asama, Mt. Akagi, and Mt. Nikko-Shirane. Additionally, the resort features a variety of snow parks, catering to both beginners and those looking to practice their skills, making it a popular destination for snowboarders as well.
