Hida Nagareha Resort

Gifu Prefecture, Japan · 11.5 km of runs, 6 lifts, top 1398 m

Near Kamioka in northern Gifu, Hida Nagareha is a quiet resort with views toward the Northern Alps and a reputation for good snow and hardly any lift lines. Chairlifts serve a strong share of advanced terrain, and the Nagareha hot spring just down the road is the place to soak tired legs.
