Kamui Ski Links

Kamui Ski Links spans 601 metres of vertical drop between 150 and 751 metres elevation across 30 runs and 24.3 kilometres of terrain on the northwestern slopes of Kamuiyama. The resort receives over 8 metres of annual snowfall, with its inland central Hokkaido location producing exceptionally dry powder snow. Three FIS-approved courses host national Super G and Giant Slalom races, and the resort opened in 1984 on land formerly known as Kamui Village.

The terrain divides into 38 percent beginner, 32 percent intermediate, 20 percent advanced, and 10 percent expert runs across 25 officially designated courses. One-third of the ski area remains ungroomed, including gated tree run zones accessed from the upper mountain. The longest run extends 4,000 metres from summit to base, with the steepest slopes reaching 35 degrees in advanced tree skiing areas.

The resort maintains a low-key local atmosphere with minimal crowds on weekdays, though weekend influxes from Asahikawa occur. A 500-seat restaurant occupies the second floor of the base centre house, whilst a mountaintop cafe features an open fireplace and views across central Hokkaido. Children under elementary school age ski free, and full equipment rental packages cost 13,000 yen per day.

Kamui participates in the Hokkaido Powder Belt Pass, a five-day ticket valid at Furano, Tomamu, and Kamui within a 10-day window for 38,000 yen. The 2025-2026 season runs 13 December to 31 March with daily operations from 9:00am to 4:00pm. The resort suits intermediate to advanced skiers seeking uncrowded powder and tree skiing without destination resort infrastructure or lodging.
