Shizukuishi Ski Resort
Shizukuishi Ski Resort is located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. In 1993, it served as the venue for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, establishing its reputation as a world-class ski resort. Its signature attraction is the downhill course, with a maximum length of 2,648 meters and varied terrain. A total of 16 courses are available, ensuring fun for beginners, advanced skiers, and families alike.
On our second day after arriving in Japan, everyone was still in full-on excitement mode, and we had plenty of energy. We couldn’t wait to head up to Shizukuishi Ski Resort first thing in the morning.
The snow conditions were great, and the runs were super smooth. No matter how much we skied, we didn’t feel tired at all. From the very first lift ride, we just couldn’t stop.
Looking out over that huge snowy landscape, it really made me feel like skiing in Japan in the winter is such an amazing thing.
