The most popular course is the “No. 2 Slope Myojo Ridge Course” for intermediate skiers, which is known for its views along the ridge.

For beginners, the “Third Slope Forest Course” is recommended. The slope is relatively gentle, and the beautiful scenery created by cedars and beech trees can be seen only during this season.

For advanced users, “Slope 6” is recommended. The course is a long, challenging single-burn course, and from the top of the mountain, skiers can enjoy a long run of up to 3,000 meters when skiing to the first slope. Mt. Amakazari and Yakeyama in front of you. 

A children’s playground, “Chibiko Slope,” is also available. In the area next to the first slope, visitors can play with sleds and tubes.After skiing, how about warming up your cold body at the adjacent “Shionomichi Onsen White Cliff”? The extremely smooth spring water is popularly known as “Bijin-no-yu” (hot water for beautiful women) because it is said to “make your skin smooth and smooth.

4.Lunch Information

We recommend the Spicy Bean Paste Noodles. Warm up your body with the spicy hot bean-paste noodle soup, which will blow away the cold, and enjoy the after-meal slides!。This will be offered only at the Bokka teahouse next to the 1st lift boarding area.

Also, the hearty “Katsu Curry” (pork cutlet curry) is popular at the restaurant “Libra” next to the second lift ride. If you are looking for something to eat with rice, we recommend this curry with pork cutlet.
