Naeba

Possibly the most famous of all Japanese ski and snowboard resorts, Naeba, as well as the highly-regarded powder heaven of Kagura have come together to form a huge snow resort area the..... "Mount Naeba". Naeba on it's own is more than enough for a day's adventure in the snow, but riders can now take the world's longest gondola - called the "Dragondola" - from the slopes of Naeba directly to the Tashiro area of Kagura resort. From there you can ride on over to the main Kagura courses and even further to the Mitsumata area of the resort.

The Kagura resort has three main areas - the Tashiro area, the main Kagura area and the Mitsumata area. As well as direct from Naeba, both the Tashiro and Mitsumata areas can also be reached directly via Ropeway - both the Tashiro and Mitsumata Ropeways can be found on Route 17. The large Naeba Prince Hotel is difficult to miss right at the bottom of the Naeba slopes. With extensive facilities (see below), the Naeba Prince Hotel offers a lot of fun off the slopes as well as being located right on them!

The Mount Naeba resort area offers you a huge variety of different runs and courses, with generally excellent snow conditions throughout the winter season. (Text by SnowJapan.Com)
