Jozankei: snow, then a soak

The beginner Rinkan (1.2km) and Märchen (2.4km) courses form the longest 3.6km route. Practise stopping and turning before committing to a long descent. The Family Course is officially intermediate, despite its welcoming name.

Choose Chalet Ivy for a suite with an in-room onsen, Mori no Uta for room options and buffet dining, or Suizantei for a stay with school-age children or adults. None is slope-side: plan the journey to and from skiing.
