Iwappara

Niigata Prefecture, Japan · 10.2 km of runs, 7 lifts, top 984 m

A short shinkansen ride from Tokyo in Yuzawa, Niigata, Iwappara looks straight across to the Tanigawa range. Its trademark is a very wide main slope, ideal for first-timers, but the terrain stretches to properly steep upper runs, and it shares tickets with nearby Kamikoku.
