1..Features of slopes and courses

25 minutes drive from the Toyota-Iiyama IC of Joshinetsu Expressway.
This ski resort is located right next to Togari Onsen.

It is equipped with 13 diverse courses with plenty of terrain and powder snow slopes that can be enjoyed by beginners and advanced skiers alike.

The majority of the slopes are on the left side of the map, with “Pegasus Slope” near the hot spring resort and “Tonpei Slope” straddling it.
Each has a different atmosphere and items on the slopes.

Pegasus Slope is located on the side of the hot spring resort area where “Akatsukinoyu” is located. It is a tree run with non-pressured snow, and in addition to courses where advanced skiers can have plenty of fun, such as full-scale mogul and pole practice slopes, there is a children’s slope and a mogul course for beginners. There is also a rest house and a kids’ room.

Many of the courses run parallel to the beginner and intermediate courses, so you can enjoy them without worrying about differences in skill level (40% beginner, 40% intermediate, 20% advanced).

Tonpei Slope” is near the top of the mountain, but is well maintained for all levels, from beginners to experts, and can be enjoyed together by groups and families.
The sense of freedom while skiing and the spectacular view that unfolds when you get off the lift is the best among all Togari Onsen ski resorts. On a lucky day, you may be able to see a sea of clouds below.

The Champion Course at the top of the ski area has a “permanent banked course” that is very popular among snowboarders. The course has a series of curves that make the most of the natural terrain, and many repeaters keep coming back because they can enjoy the 3D sensation.

In addition, visitors can experience a new popular activity, “Yuki-Chari Snow Ride,” on the Pegasus Slope.The thick tires can handle the fluffy snow and can be operated as easily as a regular bicycle. The 2,000-meter-long course is a full-fledged lift ride. This is a unique experience that can only be experienced here.

3.Lunch Information

Located on the Pegasus slope, the “Starry Star Restaurant” offers stylish and authentic Asian cuisine at a restaurant that was ranked 10th in the nation’s top 10 ski resorts with the best guereishoku.

We recommend the authentic spice-scented Gapao rice and Pho. They are so delicious that they will overturn the concept of guereh. Please give it a try.
