Akakura Kanko Resort Ski Area
The first hotel-attached resort ski area in Japan to be designated as an international ski resort.
Situated on the slopes of the famous heavy snow region of Mt. Myoko, this ski resort spreads across a vast area. The "Akakura Kanko Hotel" is located midway up the slopes, allowing guests to enjoy winter sports as part of their stay.
As the first ski resort in Japan to receive an international designation, it offers exhilarating skiing experiences over its wide slopes and a maximum run length of 4km. It's highly favored by ski and snowboard enthusiasts. The Myoko Kogen area is known for its powder snow quality, allowing for comfortable skiing on soft natural snow the morning after a snowfall.
Staying at the attached "Akakura Kanko Hotel" means you can comfortably enjoy skiing right from the start of the day, as the lift station is just beside the hotel entrance. Rooms with open-air hot spring baths offer views of stars unseen in the city and the refreshing morning sun.
Descending to the lower area, you can enjoy the charming new Akakura Onsen town, indulging in day-trip hot springs facilities and gourmet food after enjoying the day's activities.
