Features and details of Sugadaira Kogen Snow Resort

A vast slope located approximately 200 kilometers by car from Tokyo, boasting a high percentage of clear skies. Often referred to as the Davos of Japan due to its Swiss-like scenery and climate, the resort is renowned for its premium-quality powder snow. It features three distinct areas—Pine Beak, Taro, and Davos—comprising a total of 60 diverse courses across 11 slopes. Thanks to snow machines, you can enjoy skiing from early December to late March, ensuring consistent snow coverage. For those seeking adventure, a snowcat can take you to the summit of Mt. Neko during a snowmobile tour, and on the return journey, enjoy a leisurely cruise spanning approximately 4km. The main road is regularly plowed, ensuring safe access for vehicles.
