Kurohime Kogen Snow Park is a ski area on the eastern slopes of Mt Kurohime in Shinano Town in the northern region of Nagano Prefecture.
Kurohime Kogen is very close to the Nagano border with Niigata Prefecture and the various ski and onsen resort areas in the popular Myoko region, and generally not as busy as those. Fine views of Lake Nojiri, Mt Madarao and Myoko to the north can be enjoyed on a clear day.
Kurohime currently has one quad lift and five pair lifts, with the longest run of 2,600m and the steepest gradient of 33 degrees. The main ski runs are named after animals - Mouse, Dragon, Snake, Rabbit, Monkey, Blackbird, Dog, Bull...
There is a large Family Park area and also a ski lift that allows dogs, the 'Snow Dog Lift'. (Dogs are charged the same as young children!)
The nearby Dowa-no-mori Snow Wave area has 3km and 5km cross-country courses.
The Kurohime Family Park is the main park area and suited to families and children.
