Akakura Onsen
Akakura Onsen claims deep roots as one of Japan's original ski resorts, blending historical significance with modern skiing amenities. The resort's layout incorporates the traditional onsen village, where steam rises between snow-covered buildings. Wide slopes near the base area transition into technical terrain higher up, while tree skiing zones offer natural features and powder opportunities.
Fifteen lifts service the varied terrain, connecting multiple base areas and distinct mountain sectors. The system's design reflects years of refinement, providing efficient mountain access while maintaining the village's traditional character. Specialised night skiing operations illuminate selected courses, creating extended skiing opportunities. The lift network connects smoothly with neighbouring Akakura Kanko, expanding available terrain options.
