Introduction

Numajiri is a ski area located on the western slopes of Mt Adatara in Inawashiro Town in Fukushima Prefecture.

Numajiri has a long history and is one of Japan's oldest currently operating ski areas. Skiing here dates back to 1915, and it was also one of the first to open for night skiing in 1927.

In recent years there has been a gradual scaling down of operations. In 2024, one quad lift (900m) and one pair lift (230m) operate at Numajiri. Artificial snowmaking machines are on hand to assist nature if required.

The entire ski area is normally closed on Mondays, with a few exceptions (noted below).

The mascot characters for this ski area are very friendly-looking squirrels who can often be found on the slopes and entertaining children. Their names are Numajirisu and Nuuji. They seem to be a couple.

2024-2025 season news:

Lift tickets are cheaper this year, but the top two pair lifts have disappeared from the official course map and will not be operating. The top area is now known as Risu-no-mori and described as an 'activity park'. (The top elevation data on this page still includes that top area).
