[2026 year edition] the ski area &Activity spot recommended in the winter Yatsugatake area

Winter Activity enriches skiing and skating in Suwa-gun, Nagano around Yatsugatake (Fuji Mirumachi) and Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi (Kiyosato, Kobuchisawa and white sandbar). It's also charm to tend to go out by car because Yuki doesn't estimate a plain so much. I'll introduce the popular spot which can enjoy winter Yatsugatake fully.

They're proud of a grand panoramic view from Yatsugatake to Mt. Fuji.

Comfortable ski area where it takes pride in its clear sky rate 85%. A snow park in addition to 7 original slopes is established, and you can enjoy yourself from a beginner to an expert. The long course the biggest feature looks at a superb view of Mt. Yatsugatake and Fuji, and I slip and where retires from the full length 3km. There is a linden slope of 27 times of the middle and biggest degree of tilt, but it's maintained beautifully at a flat one barn, so it's a challenge by all means. Because it'll be slope at the heart-shaped when the alpine slope of RACHIGERENDE and the next is tied, I also become popular as Lover's Sanctuary.

The snow trekking which walks a forest of snow is also very popular.

I walk along the gentle way while enjoying the feeling of the snow.

All skis, snowboard, boots and accessary kinds can be rented, and there is also a school, so the beginner is relieved, too. You can play by play with snow, a sleigh and CHUBINGU at a park of kids again, so it's also recommended to a family with children.
A snow shoe, it's put on, and, snow trekking can also be enjoyed. The refreshing course where a course aiming at peak in nyuu Kasayama can look the mountains in the south, the center and the north Alps around 360 times including Mt. Fuji from a peak gondola station. I look for a footprint of the animal which stuck on the snow and feel the quiet of the forest of snow, and if, Experience winter is waiting.

Ski area gentle with a with children family

A snowboard can also be enjoyed only at a night game at a ski area of ski exclusive use. For the inside expert, 26 times of biggest degree of tilt and 600m, the center slope where you can glide is recommended. It fits to practice carving turn by high speed. On the other hand, the one popular with beginners is the romance slope. You can practice comfortably comfortably at a wide gentle slope.
The forest of creation "and" the hill observatory of homesickness where it's about 3 minutes on foot to want to visit by all means from the top of the 1st lift. Japanese expensive Mt. Fuji in mountain best 3 (3,776m), Kitadake (3,193m) and Okuhotakadake (3,190m) are the valuable spot of which you can get a bird's-eye view.

Playgrounds for kids are also enriched.

It's popular with the family at a superb view and a colorful course.

The ski area spread in a bosom in Yatsugatake. When getting on a panoramic lift of the full length 1,100m, you can reach peak of altitude 1,900m quickly. I'll enjoy ski and a snowboard refreshingly while looking at a beautiful mountain range such as Mt. Fuji. The slope and also the snow park where it's for beginners for experts are often arranging a balance focusing on gliding distance 1,200m and A courses for intermediates. Attention is the fantasy park where adult and a child can be enjoyed. Various items equal a bank, POKOJAN and a wave, and when ski is just slippery and is brought along, it's famous.

I'll enjoy play with snow to the fullest by a parent and child.

Snow Land who can enjoy himself recommends play with snow to a family. The slope of a sleigh is 100 m of full length and sliding response enough. Moreover it can rise easily by a snow escalator to the slope upper part, so even how many times can I slip as much as you like? The "carousel" which revolves on the snow takes a snow strike rider and a tire inner tube, and is also very popular. The free rental item of plastic ski and a sleigh is also popular in with children.
To the "Kiyosato cafe" if he's hungry, authentic Italian can enjoy. The Italian beer and the wine are even including pasta, pizza and a meat dish.

It's "by a fallen leaf, bonfire" that it's very popular as well as Baumkuchen making. Fallen leaves in an as the name suggests forest are collected and a bonfire is caused. When bringing sweet potato in, a roast sweet potato can also be enjoyed. I'll wait to burn well while circling a bonfire and chattering. If the fire becomes weak, don't forget to add a fallen leaf and control the heat setting. Warmth of a bonfire and a roast sweet potato from HOKUHOKU just made make them forget the coldness.
