Akita

Tazawako Ski Resort is a ski resort in Semboku, Akita Prefecture, Japan. It is located in the mountains overlooking Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan. It is easily located just a 30 minute bus ride from JR Tazawako Station which can be directly accessed via the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station in under 3 hours. Tazawako offers the coveted "JAPOW" – the legendary powdery snow that captures every skier's imagination. With a range of course difficulties available, both intermediate and advanced skiers find their haven here. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, backcountry enthusiasts can even hike up from the ski area to savor the untouched terrain. Moreover, the excitement doesn't stop at the slopes. The resort features a CAT that transports enthusiasts to the 8th station of Akita Komagatake during the on-season (specifically, from the beginning of February to mid-April in 2018). This exclusive opportunity unveils a world of fresh, deep powder snow, reserved solely for those who venture up the CAT.
