From Togakushi Ski Resort official website

Each of the four courses at the front of the ski area has its own characteristics and is ideal for practice on bumps, uneven terrain, and flat terrain. On days when there is a good accumulation of snow, you can enjoy the surprisingly light and superb powder snow. Due to the low temperatures, the snow does not melt easily and remains of good quality.

There are gentle courses that are safe for beginners in both skiing and snowboarding, and you can board the lifts immediately. The 360-degree panoramic view of the summit allows even beginners who are a little more accustomed to skiing to ski and enjoy the great outdoors.

Ninja Slope

The very popular beginner course, “Ninja Slope,” has a variety of attractions based on the theme of training. You will naturally learn the movements necessary for skiing and improve your skiing skills while having fun.

The kids’ park is equipped with a 30-meter walkway that moves automatically.  After skiing, you can ride on the sidewalks with your skis on.Areas are divided for sledding and skiing, and safety is taken into consideration.
