Hachi Highlands Ski Resort features 11 courses, and its vast slopes-along with the snow park “The Parks”-have made it a mecca for snowboarders and freestyle skiers. The open Central Slope area offers three main runs: the wide and gentle Central Quad Course, the Central Pair Course with one of the largest snow park areas in the Kansai region, and the Central Triple Course, which is ideal for enjoying smooth turns. For beginners, there is a moving walkway lift, as well as a popular kids’ park with a rest area.

Hachikita Highlands Ski Resort, affectionately known as “Hachikita,” is a large-scale resort equipped with nine lifts. It offers dynamic runs such as the Juhyo (frost-covered trees) Course and the Alpine Course. Highlights include a highly satisfying 4 km-long cruising run, 14 courses surrounded by pristine nature and snow-covered trees, and challenging mogul slopes-layouts that keep intermediate and advanced skiers fully satisfied. In addition to a mini snow park on the central slope, there is also a moving walkway for beginners.

A

No, night skiing is not offered.

Q

Can I enjoy both Hachi and Hachikita in one day?

Q

Can I use equipment other than skis or snowboards?

Snowfeet are temporarily permitted. A leash (runaway prevention strap) must be worn at all times. As this is a relatively new type of equipment, usage may be restricted depending on conditions. Other types of sliding equipment are not permitted.
