Natsuyura Kogen Ski Resort offers a variety of courses that can be enjoyed by beginners and advanced skiers alike. There are also courses with pressured and unpressured snow, tree run areas, and courses where cobblestones appear, so there are endless ways to enjoy skiing.

＜Let's go for the first truck!

Natsuyura Kogen Ski Resort's "Fast Track" is a special program that allows skiers to board a gondola 10 minutes before the gondola's normal operating time and ski on the snow surface where no one has skied before. You can enjoy not only heavy powder snow, but also the luxury of carving turns on a clean, pressurized, empty slope. We are now offering a choice of courses from the entire range, which makes it even more exciting. (Subject to change depending on conditions on the day of the event.)

Natsuyu Kogen Onsen [Usagimorinoyu]

We recommend the natural hot spring "Usagimorino-no-yu" located in the ski resort for your cold and tired body! This natural hot spring is a weak alkaline simple spring pumped up from 1,700 meters underground and is highly effective for beautiful skin. Feel the change of the season in the snow-viewing open-air bath. In addition, the far-infrared sauna with an outside window warms your body comfortably from the core and has an outstanding refreshing effect. Please enjoy the hot spring to heal both your body and mind.
You will be lucky if you can see surprisingly thick icicles while soaking in the open-air bath⁉
