About this spot
Joetsu Kokusai Ski Resort, in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, boasts one of the largest areas of any single ski resort in Japan. The varied courses, divided into four areas, range from gentle slopes ideal for beginners and families to steep slopes that will impress expert skiers. The "Kids Paradise" snow park for children is also well equipped, making it perfect for a first snow-play experience. The "Hotel Green Plaza Joetsu," adjacent to the slopes, features Nordic-style architecture with a distinctive red roof and gives you the feeling of being on a snowy mountain in Europe. After skiing, you can also enjoy relaxing your tired body in the natural hot spring in the hotel. Good access from the Tokyo metropolitan area is another attraction, with an outstanding location 0 minutes on foot from JR "Joetsu Kokusai Skijo-mae Station." Whether you ride hard alone or have a lively time with friends and family, this winter, why not enjoy a special snow mountain experience at "Jokoku," with its overwhelming scale and full facilities?
