10 Amazing Ski Resorts in Japan for Your Next Winter Getaway

"An off-the-beaten-path slope that ranks among the largest in the country, featuring 13 lifts and 33 courses spanning the north and south sides of Mount Nekomagatake with a connecting lift between the Bandai and Urabandai areas. Go Morimoto, managing director of Bandaisan Onsen Hotel and Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain, says, “The Bandai area has spectacular views of Mount Bandai and Lake Inawashiro, and the Urabandai area offers a unique topography and access to Japan’s high-quality, microfine snow.” Beyond skiing, the nearby Kitakata area (about 30 minutes away) is noted as the birthplace of Kitakata ramen, one of Japan’s three major ramen styles." - Selena Takigawa Hoy Selena Takigawa Hoy Selena Takigawa Hoy is a writer who has lived in Tokyo for more than 15 years.

Really nice ski resort in Fukushima, the season runs a bit later than most places in the area and starts sooner than other places! The powder quality was excellent when I went. So time is right and you may also be blessed. 😇 I had a lot of fun slipping into some tree areas The ski pass can be bought online for a 500yen discount, at least when I went, and your ski lift card can be returned at the end of the day for 500 yen or exchanged directly for a crepe or ice cream which is fun 💕 😋 Food at the mid mountain lodge I went to eat at was… so so. The French tacos are basically just hot pockets but the wait to get them is eternal and it’s like a thin burrito with mostly cheese. I was absolutely starving so I was disappointed, but the taste was fine. I think if you want a proper meal the bottom of the mountain is a better bet. The bottom lift might be crowded but once you are up higher there are much less people and less lines. The resort is definitely more fun with higher level skiers.

Nice ski resort! The staff are very nice. I visited there on the long weekend and it a bit crowded. The longest we waited for a lift was about 15 mins.

Great skiing resort. The hills are fun and well constructed. However, it is crowded and the snows are all squished. I highly recommend going to the place on weekdays. But yea, it is very very beautiful.

Excellent resort with fantastic facilities and a large area to explore. Plenty of terrain for beginners and intermediates. Staff are friendly and you can get by with English. Some of the on mountain signage for trails are also in English which makes navigation simple. Stunning views of My Bandai, the lake and surrounds from the top. Food on the mountain is good and not entirely overpriced like most resorts. Rental was a breeze with English forms and friendly experienced staff. Highly recommend it!

About 3.5 hours drive from Tokyo, it is worth the trip. The view of lake Inawashiro and the surrounding area is superb. Snow Scoot’s and Snow Moto’s are 100% welcome here. The longest run is about 3km! Only downside was that the Gondola was not operating…not sure why. Hoshino Resorts also owns Nekoma Ski resort on the backside of Mt Bandai and they a connected by a short 15 minute hike. Nekoma is on the shadow/back side and the snow is very different from the Alta Bandai frontside.

First season of snowboarding and this resort lived up to it's promise of having some amazing fresh power. There are many paths to go down from and an eating place down some lifts in the middle of the mountain. The reception was poor but such amazing scenery of the mountains and lake from certain areas.

It is a ski resort that can be reached in about 3 hours from the Tokyo metropolitan area using the Bullet train. Ease of access is attractive above all. I felt that it is not for wealthy people like Niseko, but for families, children and young people. Lift tickets are also cheap. There are plenty of activities for people who don't ski or snowboard, as well as beginners. Shopping needs to go down the mountain. I recommend the crepe you can eat at the Yama cafe!

Not bad but some courses were no longer in service as of 2023, including the long gondola course...
