Moya Hills

Located in Aomori Prefecture, Moya Hills is a compact ski resort that stands out for its excellent night skiing facilities and impressive annual snowfall of 700cm. Despite its modest vertical drop of 540 meters (elevation ranging from 140m to 680m), the resort offers a genuine winter sports experience in northern Japan. The relatively low base elevation makes it easily accessible while still maintaining reliable snow conditions throughout the season.

The resort features 8 runs serviced by 4 lifts, making it an ideal destination for families, beginners, and local skiers seeking a convenient, no-frills skiing experience. What makes Moya Hills particularly appealing is its night skiing operation, allowing visitors to extend their time on the slopes after dark—a perfect option for those wanting to maximize their skiing time or experience the unique atmosphere of illuminated runs. While not a destination for advanced skiers seeking extensive terrain, Moya Hills delivers consistent snow quality and a welcoming atmosphere that represents authentic regional skiing in Japan's snow-rich Aomori region.
