Introduction

Sannokura is a ski area located in Kitakata City in the north western region of Fukushima Prefecture, close to the border with Yamagata Prefecture. It is about 20 minutes drive from the city centre.

Sannokura has two pair lifts, and the primarily gentle south-facing slopes overlook the Aizu plains.

It humorously claims that it is one of Japan's quietest (least busy) ski areas.

Sannokura is the only ski area in Kitakata City and the most northerly in Fukushima Prefecture.
