SKI & SNOWBOARD

Skiing & Snowboarding

Myoko Akakura, one of Japan’s snowiest areas, is packed with natural-snow ski resorts — a mecca for skiers and snowboarders.
Four ski resorts lie within a 5–15 minute drive. After a full day on the slopes, stretch out and relax in your own private holiday home.

SLOPE ACCESS

About 5 Minutes’ Drive to the Slopes

The nearest ski resorts, Akakura Onsen Ski Resort and Akakura Kanko Resort, are about 5 minutes away by car. You’ll easily make first chair in the morning. Every property has free parking, so loading and unloading bulky skis, boards and boots is a breeze, right at your door.

POWDER SNOW

Big Ski Resorts with 100% Natural Snow

What the ski resorts at the foot of Mt. Myoko are proudest of is the superb powder snow that only heavy snowfall can deliver. From wide beginner runs to ungroomed powder runs and long runs of about 8.5 km, there’s something for every level and every mood.

AFTER SKI

After Skiing, Come Home to Your Own Place

Unlike a hotel, where you have to keep an eye on check-in times, a private rental is truly your home away from home. Dry out your wet gear, cook a hot dinner in the kitchen, and, if your house has a wood stove or sauna, settle into a blissfully relaxed evening. You can also enjoy a day-trip soak at Akakura Onsen.

GROUP & FAMILY

Perfect for Group Ski Trips and Family Ski Holidays

With 10 properties that sleep 10 or more, it’s ideal for ski trips with friends and university club winter trips. Evenings gathered in the living room, talking over the day’s runs, are as lively as the slopes themselves.
