Suginohara

Reviewed By dalliance47 - Tweed Heads, Australia

Mt Myoko is a much quieter ski area than nearby Hukuba. The area is better catered for families, especially where some are yet to achieve the skill needed to ski like a pro. Of the several resorts on the mountain, Suginohara excels. The wide runs offer many Green and Red (Blue elsewhere) run options. And, for families, kids under 14 ski free. Unlike other resorts nearby, nearly all the lifts are of the newer (fast) style. The only 'downer' is that the (old) access lift often opns after the rest have opened. This means that to enjoy 1st tracks, one must drive a car to the 'base' area. This access lift should open at least 15 minutes (better 30 minutes) before the Gondola. There are plenty of good food options. So, unless you are a black level skier, you will have lots of fun.

Kagura Ski Resort

The biggest draw of Kagura is great powder snow due to its high altitude. The ski area also has easy access to the backcountry area that attracts expert riders from all over the world. Stay at Wada Goya, a mountain hut on the ski hill, and enjoy the pure first track in the morning.

Came here for a short spring skiing sprint. Loved it. Snow was good and very quiet. Lifts were fine, and food on the mountain was reasonable. It was our first time here but would not hesitate to come back. Plus point is it’s proximity to Tokyo and the ease to get to it.
