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.
