It is known for its skiing and snowboarding, of course, but also for its snow activities that can be played even with boots.

There is also “air-boarding,” where you get down on your stomach and ride an air-filled board, “snow biking,” which anyone can enjoy right away as long as they can ride a bicycle, and “experience school,” where you can enjoy the snowy mountains with a guide.And when you are done playing in the snow, take a refreshing dip in the nearby Matsunoyama Onsen.

A “snow camp” in action.

Matsunoyama Onsen Snow Park is one of the few campgrounds in Niigata Prefecture where camping is possible during this season.On the soft snow. A bonfire and a star-filled sky. Dignified winter air. Enjoy the best of camping on the snow.
