|
Possibly the most famous of all Japanese ski and snowboard resorts,
Naeba, as well as the highly-regarded powder heaven of Kagura have come
together to form a huge snow resort area the..... "Mount Naeba".
Naeba on it's own is more than enough for a day's adventure in the snow,
but riders can now take the gondola -
called the "Dragondola" - from the slopes of Naeba directly to the
Tashiro area of Kagura resort.
|
From there you can ride on over to the main Kagura
courses and even further to the Mitsumata area of the resort.
The Kagura resort has three main areas - the Tashiro area, the main
Kagura area and the Mitsumata area. As well as direct
from Naeba, both the Tashiro and Mitsumata areas can also be reached
directly via Ropeway - both the Tashiro and Mitsumata Ropeways can
be found on Route 17. |
 |
The large Naeba Prince Hotel is difficult to miss right at the bottom of
the Naeba slopes. With extensive facilities (see below), the
Naeba
Prince Hotel offers a lot of fun off the slopes as well as being located
right on them!
The Mount Naeba resort area offers you a huge variety of different
runs and courses, with generally excellent snow conditions throughout
the winter season.
