Naeba

#skitrip Naeba Ski Resort is one of Japan’s most well-known ski destinations, offering a large, modern resort experience with excellent facilities. Located in Niigata and easily accessible from Tokyo via Shinkansen and bus, it is a popular choice for families, beginners, and those looking for a lively atmosphere. The resort features a variety of well-groomed runs suitable for all levels, though advanced skiers may find off-piste options limited. One of Naeba’s highlights is the Dragondola, Japan’s longest gondola, which connects it to the nearby Kagura Ski Resort, expanding the available terrain. The snow quality is generally good, but conditions can vary, especially later in the season. The resort is centered around the massive Naeba Prince Hotel, which offers ski-in, ski-out access, multiple restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.
