Akakura Tourist Resort Ski Resort ['25-26]

"Akakan" popular with advanced skiers, powder & long course is attractive

The red-roofed Akakura Kanko Hotel, which stands halfway up the slopes, is a pioneer of Japanese highland resorts with a history of 80 years since its establishment. Nicknamed Akakan, it is popular among advanced skiers. It is convenient because it is only 8 minutes from Myoko Kogen IC and you can enter the course right from the parking lot without having to walk.

The ski resort has a vertical layout with Maeyama of the Myoko Mountains in the background. The combination of the high altitude and the terrain where it is easy for snow to accumulate has created a stable powder environment. The long courses can be taken using gondolas and lifts, making for a highly satisfying ski experience. The end of the upper lift connects with the neighboring Akakura Onsen Ski Resort, making it easy to access the backcountry area.

into a "Natural Ride Zone !

The Freeride Park, previously known as the "Main Park" and "Second Park," is undergoing a major overhaul this winter! It will no longer feature the traditional kickers and jibs, but will instead be reborn as a natural ride zone (Main and Second) that makes use of the natural terrain. It will be located between the Hotel B Course and the Women's National Athletic Meet Course. The new design makes use of the terrain itself, including waves and banks, offering a unique and different experience from traditional slopestyle skiing.

Maximum slope: 23 degrees Average: 18 degrees / Distance: 900m / Slope orientation: North

An uncompacted slope running along the Hotel No. 5 Quad at the top of the slopes. Many people head here after it snows. With a maximum slope of 23 degrees and a course length of 900, it is relatively wide and easy to attack even in powder. There is a gate (with avalanche transceiver checker) to the BC area at the top of the course.

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 20 degrees / Distance: 1200m / Slope orientation: Northeast

An uncompacted snow course with the highest slope (32 degrees) in Akakan. The course length is 1200m and it is long and slippery. After a snowfall, it's powder, and usually it's a formidable bumpy slope. It's not uncommon for snow to fill up the bumps even overnight here, and if you hit it, you can expect the best skiing.

Maximum slope: 22 degrees Average: 12 degrees / Distance: 1700m / Slope direction: East

A long course of 1,700m with steep slopes at the top and medium slopes that are easy to attack on the whole. It's great to fly at high speed from a straight line to a curving and groomed slope. Feels good even in powder.
