What is Hida Ryuyo Ski Resort (Gifu Prefecture) like?
Experience the spaciousness, spectacular views, and exquisite powder snow that only those in the know will appreciate.
About 35 minutes by car from Takayama IC on the Chubu Longitudinal Expressway, Hida Ryuha Ski Resort is a hidden resort known only to those in the know for its "free parking" and "almost zero lift wait times," and has many loyal fans.
The mountaintop offers a spectacular view of the magnificent mountains, including the Northern Alps and the Hakusan mountain range. The best part is the superb fluffy powder that falls on the ground, especially around the summit. The undulating courses that take you down valleys and ridges are extremely challenging, and you can also play around with the terrain as much as you like. The wide variety of courses will appeal to intermediate and advanced skiers.
There are gentle slopes at the summit, so beginners and families can enjoy it at their own pace. Local gourmet dishes like tonchan, keichan, and Chinese noodles are available for dining on the slopes, and once you're done skiing, you can head to Nagareha Onsen, known for its skin-beautifying waters. There are also ski-in and ski-out cottages on the premises, making this a hidden gem of a ski resort with plenty to offer.
