Introduction

Mt Granview is a ski area located in the southwestern region of Minamiuonuma City in Niigata Prefecture.

There are three operating (single) ski lifts at Mt Granview. The first one takes skiers and snowboarders up to the ski area's base.

Mt Granview can be relatively quiet, even on weekends when surrounding ski areas are very busy. It can even offer areas of untouched and ungroomed fresh snow.

Mt Granview does indeed offer some very gran(d) views of the Minamiuonuma valley on a clear day.

It is an old ski area with a retro feel that gives it a special appeal.

This is the closest ski area to SnowJapan HQ...which means that it is with a heavy heart that, after not opening for the 2023-2024 season, we have to report that Mt Granview will also not be opening for the 2024-2025 season.

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).
