History
This is a municipal ski area established by Mogami Town, Yamagata Prefecture. Set in a town that embraces a mountain hot-spring hamlet, it has operated as a facility supporting both local winter tourism and residents' recreation. For the details of its founding and history, please refer to official sources.
Access
The resort lies in Mogami Town, Mogami District, roughly in the center of Yamagata Prefecture. This is an inland part of the northern prefecture, forming a single area with the Akakura hot-spring town. Whether coming by public transport or car, check lift operations and routes through official information before you visit.
Best season
January and February, when the snow lies deep, are the best months to ski. Because the slopes adjoin a hot-spring resort, a winter stay warming up in the baths after skiing is especially rewarding. Season opening and closing shift from year to year, so confirm current information before your trip.
