Kagura Ski Resort

The biggest draw of Kagura is great powder snow due to its high altitude. The ski area also has easy access to the backcountry area that attracts expert riders from all over the world. Stay at Wada Goya, a mountain hut on the ski hill, and enjoy the pure first track in the morning.

Came here for a short spring skiing sprint. Loved it. Snow was good and very quiet. Lifts were fine, and food on the mountain was reasonable. It was our first time here but would not hesitate to come back. Plus point is it’s proximity to Tokyo and the ease to get to it.

Great place for a day of skiing just an hour and half from Tokyo, on the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train, the train stops right on the sky area, you just walk from the station to the ski premises, renting the ski equipment is fast and convenient, the staff very friendly and English speaking, the scenery was beautiful, it was snowing a little adding some magic to the place, the runs, it was not crowded, it was a day well spent, definitively will return
