2 hours north from Tokyo on Kanetsu Expressway.
Kawaba is the ski resort closest to Numata IC. With an altitude of 1,250m at the base area and 1,870m at the summit, it is located at one of the highest ski resorts in the Kanto region, and is popular for its smooth natural snow. The vast slopes are dotted with a wide variety of courses that can be enjoyed by everyone from advanced skiers to beginners, and the total skiing distance from the top to the bottom of the ski area is approximately 3,300m, making it an extremely long run.
OFF THE PISTE is a very popular spot where you can experience the feeling of being off-piste in a controlled, limited area on the slopes.
You need a training certificate to ski, but you can enjoy a powder ride that you can't experience on compacted snow courses. Also, what has become an icon of Kawaba is the high-quality park. Skiers and snowboarders flock to the mogul course, which has three parks with different themes, high-quality snow parks, and has even produced Olympic athletes.
