Overview of
the 7 Myoko Ski Resorts
Akakura Kanko Resort
Located at the foot of Mt. Myoko, one of
Japan’s 100 most famous mountains,
this renowned ski resort is attached to
the Akakura Kanko Hotel, which boasts a hot spring with 100% free-flowing hot spring water. Opened in 1937, making it the birthplace of
the ski resort in Niigata Prefecture, it is said to be
the longest running ski resort in Japan,
a pioneer in the country’s resort industry.
Akakura Onsen Ski Area
The ski area has three entrances and lift stations, allowing easy access to the slopes from any direction. It is also open for night skiing, so it is recommended for those who want to ski well into the evening. On Saturdays, the snow is pressed before the night skiing session, so you can enjoy the same fresh snow as first thing in the morning.
Myoko Suginohara Ski Area
This ski area features two long powder runs starting from the highest peak in Niigata.
These runs are among the longest in all of Japan, with a maximum run distance of approximately
8.5 km and an elevation difference of 1,124 m. Everyone from beginners to advanced skiers can enjoy skiing in the wide-open terrain.
Lotte Arai Resort
A total of 14 varied runs, and the largest freeriding zone in the country. The ski resort was listed as “Top Class Comfort” in the Michelin Guide Niigata 2020 Special Edition. It is also notable for having first-class lift tickets (lift and gondola priority boarding tickets).
Ikenotaira Onsen Alpen Blick Resort
Launched in 2021 under the new name of Alpen Blick, this ski resort boasts one of the best super-wide single slopes in Japan. With Mt. Myoko as a backdrop, you can ski while enjoying the view of Lake Nojiri.
Myoko Kyukamura RunRun Ski Resort
The slopes at this resort greet you as soon as you reach the hotel. Featuring the RunRun Kids Park, newly established in 2022, this is the perfect resort for those making their debuts on the snow.
Madarao Mountain Resort
This ski resort straddles the border between Niigata and Nagano. Together with the adjacent Tangram Ski Circus, it is a ski resort with 49 courses. There are 14 “Tree Run Courses” where you can slide through the forest as close as possible to nature, which is one of the largest in Japan.
