Northern Nagano is a skiers paradise. From the peak of Kenashi Yama, the highest point of Nozawa Onsen Ski Area you can see ski areas with a total of 87 lifts, all of which are accessible in around an hour or less by car from Nagano.
Over the next week or so we will update our website with Mountain, Accommodation, and Access information for some of Nagano’s less well known Ski Areas.
