Tazawako Ski Resort is a hidden powder paradise located in the northern region of Honshu in the Akita Prefecture. It is easily located just a 30 minute bus ride from JR Tazawako Station which can be directly accessed via the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station in under 3 hours.
Prepare to be in awe of the breathtaking views of Japan’s deepest lake (Lake Tazawa) from the vast ski slopes of Tazawako Ski Resort. Tazawako has also hosted events in the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup 6 times as of 2019.
Tazawako is most commonly visited by locals and relatively unknown to tourists so you’ll be able to enjoy a true Japanese experience you won’t find at some of the more well known resorts. The lack of tourists also means you’ll be able to hit deep untracked powder all day long.
