What other travelers are saying about Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Ski Resort
Not a small ski resort, beginner slopes can get pretty flat in some sections, good intermediate slopes. Food courts offer both Japanese and western food. Kids under 12 get free ski rentals. The Rider’s cafe up the slope has good burgers. Overall had a good skiing experience
On the backside of Mt Bandai and the snow quality is very nice. Also lot fewer people compared the front side Alts Bandai resort.
They are connected by a 15 minute hike so you can try both out.
Snow Scoots and Snow Moto’s are welcome here on all the lifts and runs!
The resort has a variety of tracks, tried all of them, but the weather was so rainy couldn't get best experience.
Very affordable and food there was very good.
I like Nekoma and Alts resorts! I buy a season pass every year and enjoy skiing on both resorts. Last year there was even a walking path from one resort to the other, which super cool!
Lifts have no safety bar. Line is too long. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for the lift. Snow is great but course for novices is too short, some places on some courses are too flat.
