One of western Japan’s largest snow resorts, located on the eastern slope of Mt. Dainichigatake in Takasu, Gujo. Its summit is the highest in the area at 1,550 meters, and the slopes are covered in premium “Takasu Powder.”
The resort offers 12 varied courses for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders, including three long runs of approximately 4,000 meters. It also features an extensive range of park facilities and features, including a halfpipe, superpipe, massive banks, and tree runs.
Families should visit the Kids’ Park, where both children and adults can play in the snow. Activities include sledding, snow tubing, and snowmobile rides.
Another popular photogenic spot is TAKASU TERRACE, which opened at the top of the slopes in winter 2018. Accessible directly from the base via a 15-passenger gondola, this beach resort-style café features a terrace with panoramic views. Even visitors who are not skiing or snowboarding can access it with a round-trip gondola ticket.
