This ski area has been operating since 1990. The name comes from the idea of 4 seasons, 7 days.

Introduction to the region
Nagano Prefecture is located in the Chubu region of the main island of Honshu. It is one of only eight landlocked prefectures in Japan, bordered by Niigata, Gunma, Saitama, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu, and Toyama.
Nagano Prefecture is sometimes referred to as 'the roof of Japan' because of the steep, rugged terrain of the many 2,000-3,000m mountains that comprise the Japan Alps. The Northern Alps are located along the northwestern region bordering Gifu and Toyama. The Central Alps are in the southwestern region, and the Southern Alps are along the southeastern border.
After Hokkaido, Nagano Prefecture is home to the second-largest number of ski areas in Japan. It has multiple world-class winter sports resorts within its boundaries, and some were venues for the main events of the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. There are ski areas throughout the mountains of Nagano Prefecture, but the majority are in the northern and central regions.
Ten individual ski areas within Hakuba Village, and neighbouring Otari Village to the north and Omachi City to the south, are collectively promoted as 'Hakuba Valley'.
The region is in the northwest of the prefecture, about an hour west of central Nagano City. It has become one of Japan's most popular winter-sports destinations for overseas visitors, giving it an increasingly international feel. The spectacular mountainous surroundings and associated outdoor activities make it popular year-round.
