The Mountain
Mt. Naeba is home to two separate resorts which are the Naeba Resort and the Kagura Resort. These two resorts are linked by Japan’s longest gondola called Dragondola. Most of the Naeba visitors are on the green runs at the bottom leaving the intermediate and steeper advanced runs alone. The bottom of Naeba is very wide with multiple lift options & there is one gondola to the top. Essentialy the lift system is very efficient catering to all needs with minimal lift lines. Dining wise Naeba has a large food court open for lunch and a huge choice of restaurants open for dinner. Kagura is accessed by a 20 minute gondala with amazing views. Kagura is a contrasting style to Naeba. It is a lot quieter and you will you will feel more connected with nature. Kagura has a lot of intermediate runs, but for for powder skiers & snowboarders Kagura area has a special lift opening up the back country between 9:30 and 12:00. Kagura has a choice of individual smaller Japanese style dining options open for lunch scattered across the mountain.

Kinta is amazing. We have been twice and both types were fantastic. Great snow, lodge is easy walk to slopes, room is spacious with views, spotless and beautifully furnished. Owners are delightful and do everything they can to help you and make you feel at home. The food they serve up is sensational -4 course meals which were delicious. Lovely indoor/ outdoor onsen overlooking the slopes. This is a high quality lodge and is a very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone and both times we went we were so impressed with everything. Loved it!

My friends and I have just returned from our Japanese ski holiday and I just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time and also wanted to thank you for all the organisation you did for us before hand. Our stays at all of the lodges were fantastic. We were overly impressed by the hospitality, the accommodation and helpfulness of Kinta san at Kinta Naeba and the food they cooked for the evening meals was also amazing. Thanks again for everything you did to help us have a relaxing holiday.
