NASPA
SKI GARDEN
NASPA Ski Garden is one of the few ski-only resorts in Japan, offering a peaceful experience free from snowboard traffic. Conveniently located next to the luxurious NASPA New Otani Hotel, this resort provides true ski-in-ski-out 5-star accommodation, making it an excellent choice for families and couples looking for comfort and convenience.
The resort features wide, well-groomed slopes perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers, along with a selection of steeper runs for more advanced skiers seeking a challenge.
Please Note: NASPA Ski Garden is exclusively for skiing. Snowboarding is not permitted. If you're interested in snowboarding lessons or terrain, we recommend a nearby resort such as GALA Yuzawa or other Yuzawa resorts. Get in touch with our team to find the best snowboarding options in the Yuzawa area.
