Introduction

Hakkai Sanroku is a ski area located in the northern region of Minamiuonuma City in Niigata Prefecture.

This ski area has one 591m pair lift, a second 239m pair lift, six official ski runs, and the longest course (from top to bottom) is just over 1km. There is also a cross-country ski course by the base.

The ski area's name literally means 'the base of Mt Hakkai'. It should not be mistaken with the nearby and larger Muikamachi Hakkaisan ski area.

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).
