Japan's largest ski resort — 18 interconnected fields across a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, host to alpine skiing at the 1998 Nagano Olympics.

Japan's most storied ski village — traditional onsen town in Nagano, 1,085m vertical, and 1998 Winter Olympics biathlon host.

Ten linked resorts in the Northern Japanese Alps — Japan's largest ski area, and a deeper, less internationalised alternative to Hokkaido.

The lift-connected Akakura Onsen and Akakura Kanko areas on Mount Myoko, an onsen-town alternative to Niseko's international scale.
