Refresh your mind and body in an open atmosphere!

Ikenotaira Onsen Alpen Bricks Ski Resort is conveniently located in the center of the foot of Mt. Myoko, just a five-minute drive from the Myoko Kogen Interchange on the Joshinetsu Expressway. It boasts one of Japan's most impressive, ultra-wide runs, a 4km long run with a variety of slopes, from medium slopes that are easy to pick up on and slide down to gentle slopes in the forest, and one of Japan's largest "Alpen Bricks Snow Parks."

Alpenblick is also unique in its beautiful scenery, with Lake Nojiri overlooking Japan's famous Mt. Myoko in the background. The resort even has its own brewery, where you can enjoy its own craft beer. This is a relaxing ski resort where you can relax and have fun to your heart's content, refreshing both body and mind in an open atmosphere.

Topics from the '25-26 season

Introducing three special tours using snow groomers (CAT)!

Three "CAT Tours" have been introduced as luxurious activities that allow you to experience the spectacular views of Myoko that change depending on the time of day. In the morning, a CAT that can accommodate up to 18 people will take you to the top of Kaname Mountain, which normally requires a hike up. You can enjoy the "Fast Track CAT Tour" where you can enjoy untouched powder.
At dusk, the "Twilight CAT Tour" will take you to the middle of the ski resort, which is normally off-limits, with the crimson-hued Mt. Myoko in the background.
And at night, take the fantastical "Night CAT Tour" to explore the snowy landscape shrouded in silence. At the photo spot, Japanese umbrellas, bamboo lanterns, and LED lights create a lighting effect, allowing you to experience an extraordinary world.
