Possibly the most
famous of all Japanese ski resorts, Naeba Ski Resort has been linked
with the highly-regarded Kagura Ski Resort to form a massive snow resort
area referred to as "Mount Naeba".
|
Naeba alone is Japan's largest single ski resort and provides more than
enough for a day's adventure in the snow. But, skiers can now ride
the world's longest gondola, called the "Dragondola", 5.5km from the
slopes of Naeba directly to the Tashiro area of Kagura Ski Resort.
From Tashiro, skiers can continue to the other Kagura runs as well
as to the Mitsumata area of this massive resort. |
 |
The 3000-room
Naeba
Prince Hotel stands like a small mountain range at the base of
the Naeba ski slopes. In addition to ski-in ski-out access to the
snow, the hotel provides apres-ski enjoyment with its many amenities.
Lifts are in operation for 13 hours a day Sunday - Friday (8am-9pm) and
an incredible 14 hours on Saturdays (8am-10pm) allowing skies to
concentrate on the activity they came for!
You'll find a huge variety of runs and courses in Mount
Naeba, with generally excellent snow conditions throughout the winter
season.
