1.Characteristics of slopes and courses

Togakushi Ski Resort, located approximately 30 minutes by car from the Shinanomachi Interchange on the Joshinetsu Expressway, will celebrate its 60th anniversary this season.

At an elevation of 1,748 meters, the skiing can be enjoyed while enjoying the view of the majestic Togakushi mountain range. The 19 courses, with some of the best snow quality in Japan and a wide variety of courses, meet the needs of a wide range of skiers from experts to beginners (30% beginner, 40% intermediate, 30% advanced).

The slopes, which straddle the foot of two mountains, Meno and Kenashiyama, offer a wide variety of terrain. From a kids’ park where children can enjoy the snow to beginner courses and advanced courses where skiers can show off their skills on unpressurized snow and bumps, the unique characteristics of the slopes will keep skiers busy.

From Togakushi Ski Resort official website

Each of the four runs at the front of the ski area has its own characteristics and is ideal for practicing on bumps, uneven terrain, and flat terrain. The northern slope makes it easy to ski throughout the day, even in the afternoon, as conditions do not change easily.

The top of the mountain, with its 360-degree panoramic view, can be skied by beginners who are used to skiing and can enjoy the great nature.

Ninja Slope

The very popular “Ninja Slope” is a beginner course with various attractions based on the theme of ninja training. Visitors can learn the movements necessary for skiing naturally and improve their skills while having fun at the same time.

The kids’ park is equipped with a 30-meter walking trail. You can move around with your skis on, so feel free to ski as many times as you like. The area is divided into sledding and skiing areas to ensure safety. There is a full lineup of sleds and other rental items for both children and adults to enjoy.
