Japanese Alps, Japan 🇯🇵
Myoko Akakura sits under the snowiest skies on Honshu, where thirteen metres of powder fall in a normal winter, traditional onsen inns line the lanes, and one of the longest pistes in Japan, Suginohara's 8.5 km cruiser, unrolls beneath you.
Yes. The base sits at 750 m and the top reaches 1500 m, which puts snow reliability among the very best on our index (score 93/100).
Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.
With 50 km of piste on 18 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (12 green, 13 blue, 10 red, 6 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Myoko Akakura stands out for the famous dry Japanese powder.
The season usually runs Dec 7 to May 6 (about 21 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
