Habayama is a ski area located in Nikaho City in the southwestern region of Akita Prefecture.
This ski area opened in 1984 and has two rope tow lifts. It was usually open only on weekends, national holidays and over the New Year period.
Apparently, it will only be used as a playing in the snow area and for events during the 2023-2024 winter (ie. lifts will not be operating).
Current status in 2025/2026 is proving to be difficult to confirm.
