Manza Onsen Ski Resort

Renowned as "Manza of the Powder Snow," this resort offers some of the best powder snow in Japan. On clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji from the 1,994-meter summit! Although the ski area is compact, the courses offer a variety of terrain—from wooded runs featuring beautiful frost-covered trees and un-groomed zones for deep powder skiing to panoramic courses with views of Mt. Asama and Mt. Myoko—creating a layout that caters to everyone from beginners to advanced skiers. Lift tickets are free for children of elementary school age and younger! The "Animal Forest Course," featuring signs depicting various animals, is also a hit. The resort hotel is just steps away, and the Manza Onsen area—famous for having one of the highest sulfur concentrations in Japan—is right next door.
