Towada Lake Ski Resort

Towada Lake Ski Resort (十和田湖温泉スキー場) offers an intimate skiing experience in Aomori Prefecture, one of Japan's snowiest regions. Located at the northern tip of Honshu, this modest resort benefits from approximately 600cm of annual snowfall, delivering the reliable powder conditions that international visitors seek in Japanese ski destinations. The resort's unique appeal lies in its proximity to the stunning Towada-Hachimantai National Park and the famous Towada Lake, allowing visitors to combine skiing with exceptional natural sightseeing and hot spring experiences.

The resort features 5 runs serviced by 2 lifts, operating between elevations of 450m and 750m. While compact compared to major Japanese ski areas, Towada Lake Ski Resort is ideal for families, beginners, and intermediate skiers looking for an uncrowded, authentic Japanese ski experience away from the busier resorts. The combination of consistent snow quality, peaceful slopes, and the opportunity to soak in nearby onsen (hot springs) after a day on the mountain makes this a charming destination for travelers seeking a more relaxed, culturally immersive winter holiday in northern Japan.
