Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort
Long Runs. Deep Roots.
Gracing the slopes of Mt. Myoko in Japan, Suginohara is famed for its abundant powder snowfall averaging 13.4 meters annually, record 1,124 meters of vertical, and one of the country’s longest groomed runs at 8.5 km. Just around two hours from Tokyo by bullet train to Nagano, liyama, or Joetsu-Myoko, with easy local transfers to Myoko Kogen, this Niigata gem combines world-class skiing with seamless travel. After arrival, wide-open terrain, sweeping lake views, and powder-filled steeps make it a playground for big turns, long laps, and pure Japanese flow.

The Endless Descent
From summit to base, Suginohara’s signature 8.5 km run delivers a ride that feels like it never ends. Recognized as the longest run in Japan, this flowing trail is framed by iconic mountain views, a must-do for every adventure seeker.
Soul in a Bowl
Ramen Corner is famous for its bold, flavorful miso ramen made with the same custom miso blend that put the Joetsu-Myoko area on the culinary map – white miso, garlic, and chili in perfect balance. It’s a slope side staple crafted with deep local roots.
Powder Playground
On storm days, head to the Super Giant or Super Mogul trails. With 38° steeps and ungroomed lines, they turn into a haven for powder hounds chasing Japan’s famed deep snow.
Local Hack
From the gondola summit, catch clear-day views of Mt. Fuji in the distance. After laps, soak in Myoko Kogen’s hot spring village – featuring seven different onsen sources, each with its own character.
