This ski resort adjacent to Akakura Onsen is a mere eight minutes from Myoko-Kogen Interchange. Besides being easily accessible, its free parking lot with room for 1,000 cars right next to the slopes means guests can start skiing immediately upon arrival.

For small children, we recommend the Chibikko Hiroba (Kid’s Square) located by the parking lot.
