Ranked No. 1 among the most popular ski resorts in Japan, Gransnow Okuibuki is one of the largest ski areas in the Kansai region. Thanks to the abundant snowfall of the Ibuki Mountains—known as one of the world's snowiest areas—and state-of-the-art snowmaking machines, the slopes are always in perfect condition. The resort enjoys a long five-month season from November through April. This season, the rental shop has been completely renewed! Take your pick from one of Japan's largest selections—over 5,000 sets of rental gear, including stylish, photo-worthy ski wear. During your break, treat yourself to delicious meals and sweets at the resort's three restaurants offering flavors from Japan and around the world. Everything can be reserved online in advance—lift passes, rentals, lessons, dining, and even shuttle buses. Access is excellent from the Kansai and Tokai regions, including Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya, making day trips by car effortless. For train travelers, a convenient shuttle bus runs directly from Maibara Station to the resort. Affordable bus tours with lift passes are also available, departing from Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya. And of course, the slopes are spectacular! Enjoy breathtaking 360° panoramic views and the ever-changing contrast of snow and sky as you create unforgettable winter memories at Gransnow Okuibuki.
