December 2023. Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resorts have been connected to create the new Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain, a large ski slope with 13 lifts and 33 courses spanning the north and south of Mt. Nekoma.
The South Area (formerly Alts Bandai) offers views of the majestic Mt. Bandai and Inawashiro and offers open skiing, while the North Area (formerly Nekoma Ski Resort) is located on the northern slope, at a high altitude, with excellent light snow and a long season that continues into spring. Not only can you move freely between the two areas, but this year a tree run zone has been added, making it even more powerful!
Last season, it was open for 158 days, making it the longest-opening facility in Fukushima Prefecture for the second year in a row. This season, it is scheduled to be open for 159 days, from November 29, 2025 to May 6, 2026.
Nekoma season tickets are a great deal, allowing you to ski for almost half a year and offering a full range of benefits that can be used all year round. The "Super Early Bird" sale period, where you can purchase a season ticket at half price, is until November 3rd! Here .
Benefit 1: Enjoy a fulfilling Nekoma life at the ski resort and on the road!

In addition, there is a "companion discount" that offers a discount on lift tickets to people who come with a season pass holder, making it easy to invite people who do not have season passes.
