Katashina Ogna Hotaka Snow Resort

Resort features

The superb powder and the dynamic slope with 3.5-km long downhill course from the 1828-meter summit are breathtaking.
The natural park that takes advantage of the natural terrain is very popular among snowboarders and freestyle skiers. There is also a snow escalator for sledding and a children's playground, perfect for first-time snowplayers. The ski resort is blessed with good-quality powder snow, and is a popular powder area for a full day of fun for those who enjoy winter sports. This resort can be enjoyed from children to seniors and ski/snowboard beginners to experts. The area is also family-friendly with many lodging facilities nearby.
