A free shuttle bus operates between both ski areas, allowing you to enjoy either resort with a single lift ticket. Protected by the backdrop of Mount Hachimantai, one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, the resort is largely sheltered from wind. Its lift operation rate over the past five years stands at an outstanding 99.11% TP3T, demonstrating exceptional reliability.
