We offer you an exclusive escape to this hidden snow retreat. Whether you seek the joy of skiing on perfectly groomed runs or the quiet comfort of a private snow world, Akita Hachimantai welcomes you with silence and peace.

Complete Ski Resort Charter
Imagine a private ski sanctuary with no queues, no crowds, and no tracks but your own. We charter the Akita Hachimantai Ski Resort exclusively for your group.
-
For Beginners & Families:
A completely private environment where you don’t have to worry about anyone else watching. Perfect for first-timers, families, and friend groups to learn at their own pace. Enjoy accessible activities like “Snow Drive” that allow anyone to glide down the slopes immediately.
-
For Experts:
Experience the ultimate “First Tracks.” The entire course is freshly groomed just for you. Carve your lines on the pristine corduroy surface without interruption.
Immersive Snow Activities
Go beyond skiing. Explore the restricted areas of the National Park, experience unique thrills, and enjoy freedoms only a private charter can offer.
Glide with Ease & Thrill
“Snow Drive” is a revolutionary sitting ski gear developed by pros. Safe and easy to master in just 30 minutes—steer with a handle and glide freely. Even if you don’t ski, you can experience the exhilaration of sliding down the slopes.
The Mountain is Yours
On this day, the entire ski resort belongs to you alone. Build a giant “Kamakura” (snow hut), fly your drone freely to capture cinematic shots, or simply play in the snow without limits. Enjoy the winter wonderland to your heart’s content.
Walk into the Silent White
Step into the Towada-Hachimantai National Park, a protected area usually difficult to access in winter. With a private guide, walk through the majestic beech forests covered in frost. In this silent world, the only sound is the crunch of snow beneath your feet.
Akita Hachimantai Ski Resort
Buna-mori Course
Beginner – IntermediateA series of wide, gentle courses perfect for relaxed skiing. The lift side offers a mild, inviting incline ideal for beginners to build confidence. In contrast, the central forest side provides steeper variations, allowing you to choose the perfect burn for your skill level amidst the beautiful beech trees.
Todomatsu Course
Intermediate – AdvancedOnce you have mastered the basics on Buna-mori, challenge yourself on Todomatsu. This course invites you to ski dashingly down a dynamic slope. Enjoy an exhilarating downhill run with a spectacular panoramic view of Lake Hachimantai-Onuma spreading out below.
Grooming Policy & Safety
To ensure the safety of our guests, all courses are fully groomed by snowcats. While some guests may wish to ski in deep snow, please understand that for safety reasons, we provide a perfectly pressed “corduroy” surface for your exclusive use. Enjoy the luxury of carving your own lines on a pristine, well-maintained course.
