Tokyo to Akakura Onsen Ski Resort

How to get to the Asakura Onsen Ski Resort from Tokyo? The whole Myoko Kogen area is filled with some ski resorts, Akakura Onsen is the largest one which is an awesome ski field that accommodates all levels. It is a lovely small ski area good for newbies and intermediates. For a green run skier, it provides great potential, plenty of green runs to play on and gain confidence. Lots of easy, short, funny runs to just cruise down, so not too tiring and there are a few places to stop for a cup of coffee on the mountain, a great Japanese food restaurant at the top with the best views to the ocean in the distance.

The whole snow area consists of two interconnected ski fields: Akakura Onsen and Akakura Kanko. There are more red and black runs in Akakura Kangko, the ski passes can be for Akakura Onsen, Akakura Kanko or both. The whole area is much more like a big village than a modern resort. It is just three hours away by train from Tokyo, most skiers stay in the Akakura villages, or the lower village of Akakura Kanko. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the village, and a free shuttle between Myoko Kogen Station and Kumado in Japanese snow season.
