Gunma Minakami Hodaigi Ski Resort is located in Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture, offering a prime location just about 2 hours from central Tokyo. Since its opening in 1979, it has been cherished by many skiers and snowboarders. The slopes, spread across the eastern side of Mt. Hodaigi, are renowned for their exceptional snow quality, even within the Minakami region, thanks to their high altitude and north-facing orientation.
