Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain North Area

Not a small ski resort, beginner slopes can get pretty flat in some sections, good intermediate slopes. Food courts offer both Japanese and western food. Kids under 12 get free ski rentals. The Rider’s cafe up the slope has good burgers. Overall had a good skiing experience

On the backside of Mt Bandai and the snow quality is very nice. Also lot fewer people compared the front side Alts Bandai resort. They are connected by a 15 minute hike so you can try both out. Snow Scoots and Snow Moto’s are welcome here on all the lifts and runs!

The resort has a variety of tracks, tried all of them, but the weather was so rainy couldn't get best experience. Very affordable and food there was very good.

I like Nekoma and Alts resorts! I buy a season pass every year and enjoy skiing on both resorts. Last year there was even a walking path from one resort to the other, which super cool!

Lifts have no safety bar. Line is too long. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for the lift. Snow is great but course for novices is too short, some places on some courses are too flat.

Really good snow this year. Unfortunately the lift of green trail was not open. My kids had to use the blue trail, which was too dangerous for them. Nice location and easy to reach. I'll recommend this place for skiing lover.

for experienced skiers. many courses are of black difficulty and few are for beginners, if you are confident of your skill and enjoy steep descents with lots of moguls you might enjoy this. However if you consider yourself a intermediate / beginner skier, I wouldn't really recommend coming here. (search for gran deco for a good, close, alternative) you might see that there are some red courses, but they are probably closer to black than they are to green. Snow quality is good, and if you come soon after it snows you will probably get good powder.

This is my tenth time here over 4 seasons. Today was an absolute mess. They say all lifts open but the triple is down for the season. Expect long waits because of this. They have some rails out but don't allow hiking the rails. This would have alleviated some of the lines for the park lift if they did this. Ill managed today and in the Aizu region carry on and try somewhere else. If you're a foreigner don't forget you get a discount on lift passes for all resorts in this area. First time ever disappointed with this resort. Sort it out management.
