What other travelers are saying about Norn Minakami Ski Resort
A very nice ski resort located in 2 hours derive from Tokyo. Pretty cool courses including for both beginners and pro ski and snowboard lovers! Not so far from the toll road and easy access. Several car parking lots located at a walk distance and isolated as well. All isolated parking lots providing a free shuttle bus. Better to go there as early as possible to avoid shuttle bus in order to have an easy and quick access from the closes parking.
Very comfortable facility includes wide eating area and several restaurants inside and outside the building. Rental shops could allow you to get and ride at the same day all you need including wears and ski or boards.
For those with kids, there is kids school facility with a very kids friendly instructors. Will allow you to get your kids attended to school and enjoy your free time for adult riding.
Nice weather, good mood and friendly staff are always there!
Recommended very much!
Itβs basically a ski resort but we visited during spring. so my review is based on spring time view and facilities of this place. View is absolutely stunning during daffodil festival and facilities are ok. The only thing that bothers me is the long queue in ground floor restaurant, may be for golden weekβs rush but they can manage it easily if they had enough stuffs. only two elderly person tried their best.
Itβs a great ski resort which is 2hr drive from Tokyo.
They also have shuttle bus service from Minakami station.

The park worker also provide a treasure hunt activity so it was so much fun for the kids. We never find any other prk as interesting as this for our kids. The staff are friendly too.
