Hakodate Nanae Snow Park is located to the east of Lake Konuma in Nanae town, to the north of Hakodate city in southern Hokkaido. It is about 50 minutes by car from central Hakodate. This resort has been operating since January 1985 and was originally known as Hakodate Onuma Nanae Ski-jo. The 6-person Gondola lift at Hakodate Nanae Snow Park is one of the longest in Japan at 3319m in length. Visitors can just use the gondola to see the 'snow monsters' at the top in peak season, usually during January and February. There are two other ski hills in this region - Greenpia Onuma and Niyama Kogen.
Hokkaido is the second largest island of Japan and also the largest and northernmost prefecture (though it is not usually referred to as a prefecture). It has coastlines on the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk and also the Pacific Ocean. Sapporo is the capital city of Hokkaido and was host to the 1972 Winter Olympics. Hokkaido is home to the largest number of ski hills in Japan. While the majority of them are very small, some of the larger ski and snowboard resorts in Hokkaido - mostly found in regions to the west and east of Sapporo - are amongst the most famous in Japan.
Ski and snowboard lessons are available at Hakodate Nanae Snow Park.
