Horokanai Horotachi Ski Area

It is located in the town of Horokanai. It is located right beside the town.
The lift is about 500 meters long and has one machine.

The course is divided into three main sections.
The abundant snowfall, plenty of uneven terrain, and steep slopes up to 44 degrees attract ski and snowboard freaks.

The snowfall is usually abundant, reaching up to 3 meters in some years.
However, in the 23-24 season, the snowfall was unusually less than 2 meters, making it a “normal” ski resort.

The ski resort is located over the mountain pass from Wassamu. The weather changes in the mountains between Wassamu and Horokanai.
I once had to turn back because of bad weather around the pass.
It is safe to go to the city area, but please be careful when driving in the mountainous area.

Also, Horokanai produces the largest amount of buckwheat noodles as an agricultural product in Japan.
There is a restaurant at the ski resort, but many skiers come to enjoy soba at soba restaurants in the town.
