Tateyama Sanroku is a ski area located in the southeastern region of Toyama City in Toyama Prefecture.
Tateyama Sanroku is essentially two connected ski areas, Raicho Valley and Gokurakuzaka. They share a joint lift ticket, but each has its own base area with car parks and various facilities. The official course map calls them the Raicho Valley Area and the Gokurakuzaka Area.
The Raicho Valley Area features four pair lifts and a kids park, and the lower section is open for night skiing.
The Gokurakuzaka Area has two quad lifts and a pair lift.
Both areas feature ski runs where the snow is left ungroomed.
