For an experience a little more remote, further north of Myoko in the Tohoku region lies Mt Bandai, the iconic symbol of the Fukushima Prefecture.
Located in the picturesque Bandai-Asahi national park, the mountain itself is made up of three peaks, the tallest of which Oba Bandai (1,819m), provides a view which is truly breathtaking and considered as one of the best in Japan.
With a myriad of resorts to choose from, your guides will direct you to the resort that is right for you. Whether it is groomed runs for the beginner to the advanced or guided off-piste and backcountry riding for the more adventurous, the Mt Bandai area has it all!
From Alts Bandai Resort with its abundance of runs and boasting Asia’s largest and arguably best snow park, to Urabandai Nekoma Resort famous for its microfine powder and snow laden, beech forests which allow for endless, deep off-piste riding – these resorts will take your riding to another level and deliver an unforgettable cultural experience at the same time.
With an huge selection of hot springs (over 150 at last count) a soothing onsen is never too far away. Staying on Bandai Plateau at over 1000 meters above sea level also gives you the opportunity to explore its winter landscape on another level with the option of experiencing guided snow shoe tours in the backcountry or more serenely trying your hand at the art of ice fishing.
