Tanesashi Coast

Reviewed By TWHK - Hong Kong, China

It is a wonderful place. The coast is in front of a big grassland.There are a lot of seagulls. The grass is green in summer. It should be the best time to go there.

After dark you can enjoy night skiing/riding under the moonlight on one of our floodlit trails. For freestyle skiers and snowboarders there’s Olympic-sized 22 foot halfpipe, the largest in Japan, and an extensive terrain park which is open both day and night. Backcountry skiers will fall in love with the almost endless supply of pristine powder snow that Aomori has to offer.

Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort

Reviewed By MontyPuppy - Perth, Australia

If you love Nosawa Onsen but hate the crowds, try something a little further away. Zao Onsen in the Yamagata Prefecture has 12m snow seasons, lovely powder, loads of lifts and fun local foods to try plus the very amazing and unique ‘snow monsters’. (Eerie snow and wind blasted trees near the peak of the mountain). If you enjoy first tracks and make early starts avoiding the Zao ropeway that takes tourists up to the monsters, you’ll have a fabulous time. And then there is the private and public town onsens and apres skiing. Sensational.
