Akakura Kanko
Akakura Kanko rises dramatically from its 1,500-metre summit, offering expansive views across the Myoko region. The resort's design maximises its steep terrain, creating challenging options for advanced skiers while maintaining accessible routes for intermediates. Natural bowls and ridges form perfect powder catchments after storms, while groomed trails provide high-speed cruising opportunities down the 760-metre vertical drop.

Seven lifts systematically cover the mountain's varied terrain, including two high-speed quad chairs accessing the summit ridge. The lift network integrates with Akakura Onsen's system, creating a diverse linked ski area. Each lift serves distinct terrain zones, from dedicated learning areas to advanced slopes. The efficient design maintains smooth traffic flow even during peak periods.
