Naeba Ski Resort
苗場スキー場
A large ski resort operated by Prince Hotels, linked to Kagura by the Dragon Gondola. In summer it becomes the venue of FUJI ROCK, Japan’s largest outdoor music festival.
Naeba Ski Resort lies on the southern edge of Yuzawa Town, on the eastern foothills of Mount Naeba. Centered on the Naeba Prince Hotel, it has more than 20 runs, ranging from beginner slopes to steep advanced runs. Night skiing is also popular, and it can be combined with Kagura Ski Resort on the “MT. NAEBA” pass. Every year at the end of July, the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL is held here, drawing more than 100,000 people over three days. From Echigo-Yuzawa Station, take a free shuttle or local bus for about 40 minutes. Staying at the Naeba Prince Hotel lets you ski in and out. A day pass costs about 6,000 yen.
