Winter sports

Kitashiobara Village, Yama District, Inawashiro Town, Minamiaizu Town, Minamiaizu District, and Tenei Village, Iwase District, Fukushima Prefecture

Fukushima in winter is blessed with snow-capped mountains and forests, and clear air, making it the perfect place to enjoy winter sports. A variety of activities that allow you to experience the snow await you, such as skiing, snowboarding, playing in the snow, and strolling through the snowy scenery.
Fukushima's greatest appeal is that it has courses and facilities to suit all levels and purposes, from those trying skiing for the first time to experienced skiers who are used to skiing on snow. Many ski resorts offer rentals and schools, so even if you're not confident in your equipment or skills, you can enjoy the winter outdoors with peace of mind.
In addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can also walk on snowy roads and experience the silence of snow-covered forests and mountains. By combining this "silence and extraordinary feeling of snow" with a glamping stay, you can create a luxurious trip that is unique to winter.
The cold winter air and the soft light reflecting off the snow... This is an activity recommended for those who want to experience both the joy of moving their body in nature and the peace of being enveloped in tranquility.
