Nakayamatoge Ski Area

Nakayamatoge is an intimate, family-friendly ski area nestled in Hokkaido's scenic landscape. With just two beginner-oriented runs and a single lift, it offers a quiet, unhurried experience perfect for those seeking to escape crowded resorts. The 173-meter vertical drop suits beginners and families introducing children to skiing.
