- Resort Introduction -

  • Karuizawa Prince Hotel Ski Resort is one of the most accessible ski destinations from Tokyo, reachable in about 1 hour by Shinkansen. The slopes and snow park are well-maintained, ensuring a great experience for both beginners and intermediate skiers. The ski season starts in November, and the cold air allows snow machines to produce high-quality snow. The expansive resort area at the base of the slopes includes the Prince Hotel and a large shopping mall.

  • Palcall Tsumagoi Ski Resort features wide, well-groomed long runs, making it a dream destination for skiers. Known for having one of Asia's largest top-tier terrain parks, it is perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers. Its proximity to Tokyo makes it a convenient choice for family activities and weekend trips. You can stay at the ski-in/ski-out hotel and enjoy the complete facilities. A major highlight of Palcall is the high-speed lift that takes you to the resort's highest point at 2,100 meters. From the top, you can enjoy a spectacular 4.2 km run back to the ski center. You can also take the Sunrise Lift after 06:30 to enjoy the stunning sunrise over Mount Azumaya.
