KARUIZAWA PRINCE SNOW RESORT: THE STATS & FACTS

Located just under 1.5 hours from Tokyo Station via the Hokuriku Shinkansen, The Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort – also referred to as the ‘Karuizawa Ski Resort’ – is perhaps the easiest to access and to enjoy ski resort directly from Tokyo. The Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort is a small all-rounder resort catering to all levels with around 30ha of mixed terrain across 16 trails, with a breakdown of 50% beginner runs with 25% of intermediate and advanced runs respectively, making it the perfect place to teach newcomers, while still allowing for some harder runs for those that are experienced skier and boarders. Open all the way from the start of November with artificial snow, the true powder experience starts from late December and lasts all the way to the end of March. The peak of the resort lies at 1,155 meters with the base lifts at 940 meters, making for a maximum descent of 215 meters with excellent views of Mt. Asama along the way.

RECOMMENDED HOTELS IN KARUIZAWA

Accommodation near the Karuizawa Snow Resort is mostly located centrally near the station. As one of the premier destinations for a country getaway by both Japanese royalty and international celebrities, visitors to this area can find no shortage of established hotels and high-end accommodation options. As the area located near the snow resort and the station is quite developed, there are not many options within this area that are Japanese-style ryokans, but most accommodations offer convenience, charm, and plenty of amenities. Offering lots of restaurants, bars, nightlife and services for English and other foreign language-speakers, the Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort offers many options for what to do after your day on the slopes comes to a close. Although our company’s partner hotels in this area are few at the moment, we do have a trusted partner in the hotel that the Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort gets its name, and can arrange accommodation and ski packages at the following hotel:

KARUIZAWA PRINCE HOTEL

The Prince Hotel Group, from which the Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort gets its name, offers the peak of convenience for those staying on their resort premises at one of their five high quality hotels encompassed in the Karuizawa Prince Hotel. From the moment you step outside the station, you can enjoy a complimentary shuttle to the resort area so that you can make the most of your time and not worry about logistics. Guests can enjoy the convenience of ski-in and ski-out access in the winter. Hotel guests have access to free shuttles within the resort grounds, the onsen (hot springs) onsite for relaxation, as well as multiple dining options ranging from traditional Japanese cuisine to international fare, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. The resort’s prime location also makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions and famous sightseeing spots in the Nagano area like Kusatsu Onsen, Matsumoto, and the Snow Monkey Park if you are planning on a day break from the slopes!
