Takasu Snow Park is a ski area located on the eastern slopes of Dainichigatake in the northern region of Gujo City in the northern region of Gifu Prefecture.
This ski area is lift- and course-connected with Dynaland in the upper area. Shared lift tickets are available, as well as individual tickets.
Together, the two connected ski areas offer 30 courses, over 40km of trails, various tree runs and ungroomed areas. More than 200 snow-making machines are also available to supplement natural snowfall if required.
Takasu has a 2,700m gondola lift and three quad lifts (1,700m, 1,300m and 1,700m).
This ski area has been operating since 1999, making it one of the more recent ski large areas to open in Japan. Only Ibukinosato (Okayama, 2003) and Mineyama Kogen WHITE PEAK (Hyogo, 2017) are newer.

Introduction to the region
Gifu Prefecture is located in central Japan and is one of only eight landlocked prefectures in the country. It is surrounded by seven other prefectures: Aichi, Mie, Shiga, Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama and Nagano.
All the ski areas in Gifu Prefecture are in the northern mountainous regions of the Prefecture, in Gujo City, Takayama City and Hida City.
Six ski areas in Gujo City recently joined together for promotional purposes under the Takasu Mountains brand. (Takasu is the name of a neighbourhood in Gujo City. In 2004, Takasu Village merged with several other towns and villages to form the current city). That area is particularly popular with people visiting from Nagoya and Osaka. Train links are not particularly convenient, so most people travel by car or bus.
Takasu Snow Park is one of 9 ski areas currently operating in Gujo City.
