Introduction

Itsukamachi is a ski area located in the Itsukamachi neighbourhood of Minamiuonuma City in Niigata Prefecture.

It has one pair lift and three single lifts, the longest course is 2,300m, and the steepest gradient is 25 degrees.

It has traditionally been popular with local schools and their ski lessons.

Itsukamachi was last open during the 2020-2021 season and will also be closed during the 2024-2025 season. Unfortunately, the chance of a possible re-opening in the future seems low.

Minamiuonuma City and neighbouring Yuzawa Town are home to over 20 individual ski areas, including some of the most well-known in Japan. View the full list here. With easy and quick access by train and road and a wide choice in a relatively compact area, this region is one of Japan's most popular ski destinations. The region usually enjoys heavy and consistent snowfall each winter. The region is also known for onsen hot springs and Yuzawa as the inspiration for the famous Nobel prize-winning novel Yukiguni (Snow Country).
