Nozawa Onsen ski resort
The Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort stretches from the peak to the foot of Mt. Kenashi, which stands 1650m above sea level. The skiing area itself covers an altitude of 1085m and has a total area of 297ha. Given its size, history, and amount of snow fall, Nozawa Onsen is ranked as one of the top skiing areas of Japan.
With ample amounts of high-quality, powdery, natural snow, skiing and boarding is possible up until May. Along with a fun and exiting snow park, Nozawa Onsen is also home to a wide variety of slopes and courses, meaning that there is something for everyone. From professionals and advanced skiers to beginners and families, Nozawa Onsen is waiting to provide you with the perfect skiing experience!
Togari Onsen ski resort
Overlooking the Chikuma River, the Togari Ski Resort boasts three unique slopes and twenty separate courses. With 80% of the courses aimed at beginners and intermediates, there are six non-compacted snow courses that will keep even advanced skiers and boarders on their toes.
Make sure to pick up some famous ringo buta-man (apple-pork buns) or some sweet and crunchy Togarintou as souvenirs!
After tearing up the slopes, take a relaxing dip in the local hot springs. Don’t miss out- Togari Onsen is waiting for you!
Madarao Kogen ski resort
Standing at 1300m above sea level, the powder snow of Madarao Kogen can’t be beat! Here you’ll find a variety of slopes- 24 in all- to fit the needs of any skier or boarder.
Also, this year marks the introduction of a new, non-compacted snow course, “River Line”- yet one more thing to look forward to!
Besides skiing, make sure you try out one of the many other activities that Madarao Kogen has to offer, such as flying through the sky on the popular Zipline Adventure!
