It fits the slope debut. The gliding refreshing at a barn.

A beginner can slip free from all cares at a wide one barn, too.

It's about 4 km of ski area in the Hakuba area southernmost tip located in the north from Omachi hot spring village. From the beginner who cries with the steep slope both in all 7 courses in the slope, for intermediates. The main slope is a wide one barn and is most suitable for the slope debut in particular.
Moreover the amount of snow cover and the quality of snow are well because an altitude of a base is 940m, and peak is 1,200m and a height. Even if for top during the season to become powder snow Shirouma area in particular, I fall down, it isn't painful, so it's recommended to a beginner. The upper part can look the scenery of Azumino around far for a course in the quiet forest.

In the elf slope, "Troika". Child's movement is also easy.

In pleasant ride quality as GATAGOTO, children are a smiling face, too.

The small child who can't have lift "Troika" of a box type and get on a lift can move to "the elf slope" easily, too. A lesson for children enriches the ski and the snowboard, and when even the first time can be brought along in a moment, it's popular.
Apres-ski also recommends to visit at Omachi hot spring village around here. There is much one-day visit hot spring, and fatigue of ski can be healed slowly.

The ski area closest to Azumino IC in the Shirouma area. In the slope where I have 2 of peak in the outstanding location which wishes for Kashima-yarigatake of altitude 2,890m, 2,000m, "one beech downhill course", the "Nakatsuna arterial forest road courses" for beginners from which it's 3000 m and the view you can fail quickly line up 15 courses using a heave where beautiful "course 5-A" is a mountain. It's a loose slope, so the "tree orchid powder course" where I also run through the inside in a forest of "North Mt." at the inside can enjoy the pleasure different from the slope fully by a tree orchid beginner, too.

Apres-ski is healed by the view bath and gourmet food.

It's also charm that Property which enjoys apres-ski such as a view bathroom in a superb view and a store of porcelain pizza enriches. One-day visit bathing can also be done, so hot spring in stay Property which is in the middle of the center slope in particular "highland spa" is most suitable for apres-ski. There is also Outdoor hot spring and Japan which cleared up can heal fatigue (Refer to HP for the business days.) while getting a bird's-eye view of the north Alps.
To Restaurant after taking a bath, of "Central plaza 1130" and a food court. The gourmet who satisfies hunger matches much from pork miso soup with fermented soybean paste and Chinese noodles from Shinshu to gelato with jersey milk.
