Pretty good for beginners. The lifts were not all operating and snow was a bit slushy due to weather but we enjoyed. Restaurants and cafes are quite basic. The gondola was operating only for sightseeing and not for skiing. The view of Sawaradake was beautiful from the slopes.
This scenic snow-capped mountain ski resort offers breathtaking views. For first-time visitors, it's recommended to make a phone reservation for snow gear rentals 2-3 days in advance. However, those arriving early can still secure equipment through on-site rentals without significant concern about stock depletion. The slopes tend to be relatively steeper - beginners may want to test their skills on the short practice chairlift before attempting the main gondola ride to higher elevations.
The price for ropeway ticket is 5000 yen.
The price of equipment renting is around 6000 yen.
The place is good for beginners. Rental is cheap though the material is correspondingly poorer - it’s doable for beginners. Slopes are gentle. Ski lifts are also cheap.
Take the morning train from Hakodate, then transfer to free shuttle bus, it takes approximately one hour from city center. Great access, wide slopes with various courses, not as international as Niseko but definitely recommend for those who wants less crowds!
BEEN IN JAPAN FOR 3 WEEKS SO FAR AND THIS IS THE MOST FUN IVE HAD IN A SINGLE DAY. KNEW NOTHING ABOUT SKIING GOING INTO THE DAY AND ENDED UP CHALLENGING THE MOUNTAIN BY THE END OF THE DAY
