Tangram Ski Circus is a family-favorite snow destination with unbeatable convenience—it sits right next to Hotel Tangram. At an elevation of 1,100 meters, the summit features a scenic photo spot with breathtaking views of Lake Nojiri and the majestic Shinetsu Five Mountains. The layout lets skiers glide all the way back down to the hotel and offers a wide range of runs, from gentle slopes for kids and first-timers to thrilling ungroomed tree-run courses. It also connects directly to the neighboring Madarao Mountain Resort, so there's no shortage of terrain to explore. After a day on the slopes, guests can relax at the on-site hotel, which includes an indoor pool and a hot spring with open-air baths—perfect for unwinding with family or friends.
