Katashina Oguna Hotaka Ski Resort ['25-26]

Fill your stomach with fluffy natural powder from an altitude of 1,828m!

Katashina Oguna Hotaka Ski Resort, located in Katashina Village, Gunma Prefecture, is just two hours from Tokyo, close to the greater Tokyo area, yet the top of its slopes reaches an impressive 1,828m above sea level. In addition to its convenient access, the quality of its snow is impeccable. It is a popular little-known spot for powder lovers, where you can enjoy fluffy natural powder to your heart's content without having to fight for it

In addition, to mark the 50th anniversary of the resort's opening in the 2025-2026 season, the resort has redeveloped the area that was previously used as a course, reviving it as a completely ungroomed area. The courses, which make use of the natural terrain such as walls, never tire of visitors, and many fans describe it as "a very comfortable ski resort that feels like home."

This year marks the 50th anniversary of our opening!

To commemorate this milestone season, a raffle will be held approximately two to three times a month, offering luxurious prizes such as commemorative goods and lift tickets.
In addition, having been ranked No. 1 for three consecutive years as a ski resort in the Kanto region where you can enjoy powder snow, and gaining recognition as a ski resort where you can enjoy superb powder with easy access from the Tokyo metropolitan area, the resort will be expanding its ungroomed areas.

Every weekday is Ladies' Day!

Until last season, Ladies' Day was only held on specific days, but this season it will be held every weekday (from January 13th onwards). One-day lift tickets, normally 5,600 yen, can be purchased for 3,900 yen, and rental sets are also available for 2,500 yen

The course is small, but because of its bowl shape, powder tends to accumulate. As a result, it is the deepest course on the resort. Over time, the slopes can become mogul-filled, but taking a wild approach to them is part of the fun
