Check the winter shuttle stops along with choosing your accommodation. Morning and evening hours differ between on-site inns and inns in the city, and the bus from the hot spring village may be stopped at a roadside stop. For sightseeing at museums in Kitakami city, transportation will be provided separately from the shuttle to the ski resort.

On the way to the mountain, we took a detour to a hot spring.
Read the property guideA museum that collects materials on the theme of demons and introduces local culture such as Kitakami's Onikenbai. This is a good option for adding Kitakami's history and folklore to your mountain trip by preparing a half-day separate from the skiing. The facility is not located in front of a station or adjacent to a ski resort, so please check the city transportation separately. Focusing on indoor tours, it can also be considered as a destination on days when the skiing is shortened due to weather.
Check closures/special exhibitions, opening hours, public transportation/taxi, and baggage handling.
