Highlights
DEEP SNOW MEETS DEEP CULTURE IN AIZU
From carving fresh lines right out your ski-in/ski-out hotel with access to both sides of Nekoma Mountain, to lapping freestyle parks packed with kickers and rails, Aizu delivers the goods. Add in heli-skiing that drops you into untouched powder stashes and a town steeped in samurai history — this is where deep snow meets deep culture.

Arrival & Departure
Accomodation
SKI IN SKI OUT AT ITS FINEST
Anything that you need as a skier or snowboarder, our base for the season has got you covered. From warm miso soup after a day of riding, ski-in ski-out access, to a FREE wax and tune bar, as well as a late check out at 2PM to accommodate one last ride before you leave — we can’t say we actually want to leave.
All rooms come fitted with towels, hairdryer, bathroom amenities, free WIFI, TV, safe and even lounge wear.
Alts Bandai
Combined with the North Area, the Nekoma mountain area boasts 33 runs across 3 peaks. The South Area (formerly known as Alts Bandai) is connected to the hotel, with a cat-skiing and in-resort heli ski zone, a terrain park, as well as a 2.5 km groomed slope with majestic views of Lake Inawashiro. Night skiing is also available here.
Nekoma
Connected to the South Area via a chairlift, or walking trial at the top of the mountain, the North Area is where we go for deep powder runs and steep tree sections. With a terrain park to suit all riding levels, here’s where you level up without the pressure. When the storm’s coming in, the top lift is closed for days to accumulate pow — and we get first ride service to enjoy all that!
Inawashiro
The resort that made us fall in love with the Aizu mountain area. With a total of 10 chairlifts, 33 runs, and plenty of ungroomed areas and steep tree runs – everyone is spoilt for choice here. Inawashiro is split into 3 areas — Sky, Base and Minero with a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes in each.
Gran Deco
A great resort for those learning how to ski or snowboard! Mellow terrain with no crowds make learning and practicing at Gran Deco a breeze without the pressure of avoiding others. Gran Deco also has an easy snow-surf park with easy rollers and small banks, along with wide open runs to practice carving too.
