The Tajirizawa course is back after two seasons!Check out our new pass tickets for you to fully enjoy the long runs

After two seasons of being closed, the Tajirizawa course is ready to open! The total length is more than 4 kilometers (2.485 miles). Without the course, you can only go down by the ropeway. Now, you can ski or snowboard down through the natural scenery including trees and waterfalls. If you'd like to do it more than once in a day, you may use the ropeway uphill and lifts to return as many times as you like with the one-day pass!
