Ishiuchi Hanaoka is a ski area located in Minamiuonuma city, close to the border with Yuzawa Town in Niigata Prefecture.
This small ski area has one pair lift and is mainly used by families with young children and beginners.
In recent years Ishiuchi Hanaoka had only opened on weekends and holidays. It has not opened at all now for several seasons, initially due to coronavirus-related issues. It will also not be opening for the 2024-2025 season.
The much larger Ishiuchi Maruyama is nearby.
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).
