Nagano Ikenotaira Snow Park: 1-Day Lift Pass [E-Ticket]

Ikenotaira Snow Park is a private ski area right next to Ikenotaira Hotel at Lake Shirakaba, Nagano, on a refreshing plateau above 1,400 m. Clear skies about 80% of the time give it reliably good powder snow. Its three gentle courses (longest 550 m, max slope 20°) make it ideal for first-time skiers, snowboarders and families. Warm up on Gota-kun’s Hyahoo Mountain, a “snow athletic” course built to make learning fun. Weave through slalom poles, punch sandbags hanging overhead as you glide past, and ride the wavy terrain and tunnel. Ski school lessons are also available for kids from age 4. After skiing, explore the rest of Shirakaba Resort. Go sledding at Pota Snow Land, meet ponies, alpacas and capybaras at the Animal Plaza, or relax in the hot springs at Ikenotaira Hotel.
