What other travelers are saying about Naeba Ski Resort

The ski resort was a great choice for beginners. It offered plenty of space for me to practice, and there were also areas where I could have fun with my younger brother, who couldn’t ski.The food was also fantastic, with a variety of options that made it easy to refuel during the day. Overall, it was a wonderful trip, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone just starting out or looking for a family-friendly spot.

Great value for a ski in ski out hotel. I have been here two times and would love to come back! Connected to Kagura ski resort via gondola or bus. In addition, there are three connected ski resorts nearby - GALA Yuzawa, Yuzawa Kogen and Ishiuchi. REMEMBER TO INSTALL THE SEIBU PRINCE CLUB UP FOR SKI LIFT TICKETS DISCOUNT!

The place was a bit dated but the facilities were good. Slopes available for beginners to experts. Good mountain view at the top. Not much english instructors or signs but everyone is friendly. Food court has plenty of good options

One of my favorite ski resorts in Japan! About 2 - 3 hours away from Tokyo. Tons of food options between the resort and hotel. Plenty of space for children of all ages. Slopes are more for beginners and advanced skiers and snowboarders with a couple options for experts. Lots of activities and places to visit outside of the resort as well. Let Naeba be your first experience!!
