Hot Atchi | Waxing service, telemark skiing, and powder snow information here! | Niigata Prefecture

A new multi-purpose shop opened by Kagura no Bannin Atchi

A new shop called "HOT ACCHI" opened in Kagura for the 2020-21 season. It's called "Hot Atchi." This new shop was opened at Kagura Ski Resort by Jun Yoshizawa, affectionately known as "Acchi-san," who has been active for many years at the pro shop "BLACK DIAMOND" in Shimokitazawa and Naeba

HOT ACCHI sells hats, neck warmers, goggles, anti-fog and other small items that you might suddenly need on the mountain, as well as offering hot wax services, tuning, boot thermostats, telemark ski rentals and even ski luggage storage

The shop is located in the area with a free rest room and changing rooms immediately to the right after getting off the Kagura Ropeway. It is a compact yet multi-functional shop stocked with everything you need

They also sell delicious coffee, perfect for a morning coffee before hitting the slopes or a relaxing drink after a day on the slopes. Atchi's personality naturally draws ski enthusiasts to the shop, who can chat about the day's mountain and get some local powder snow information. It looks like it's going to be a fun spot to stop by
