Gunma Prefecture is located in the center of Japan, northwest of Tokyo. It is known for its hot springs, ski resorts, and abundant nature that can be enjoyed just a short distance from Tokyo. Gunma is dotted with attractive hot springs surrounded by beautiful natural scenery such as mountains, marshes, and lakes. It is therefore ideal for those who want to relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy outdoor activities to refresh their mind. Meanwhile, in small cities where the traditions of sericulture and crafts remain strong, you can immerse yourself in Japanese culture. It takes about an hour to get to Takasaki City, Gunma's central transportation hub from Tokyo by Shinkansen, so you can enjoy sightseeing on a day trip. However, you can also immerse yourself in the charm of Gunma by staying for several days in a wide range of accommodations.

Introducing the popular "Crystal Course" at Kawaba Ski Resort
The popular Crystal Course at Kawaba Ski Resort is a long, gentle slope that runs 2,000m from the summit at an altitude of 1,870m. The course from the summit is often thought of as being for advanced skiers and is difficult, but with a maximum slope of 16 degrees, it is designed to be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced skiers, making it one of the attractions of the course. Because of its high altitude, on clear days you can see Mt. Fuji and the sea of clouds, offering a slightly different and extraordinary experience!
Equipped with escalators, it's the perfect place for your first time playing in the snow
Kawaba Ski Resort has the First Step Slope, which is equipped with a hooded escalator so that even small children can make their snowy mountain debut in safety. The First Step Slope is not open to general skiers, so parents and children can safely enjoy playing in the snow to their heart's content, sledding and riding striders. What's even better is that children under the age of two can use the First Step Slope for free. Children over the age of two and adults can also use the First Step Slope for free if they have a lift ticket.
Rental wear available from 90cm! Go out with minimal luggage!
Kawaba Ski Resort has a wide range of rental items. Ski wear starts at 90cm, boots start at 16cm, and snowboards start at 15.5cm, with even children's sizes available. Helmets are also available for free rental for preschoolers and elementary school students. The resort is well thought out to ensure safety.
It's fun so you'll improve quickly! A comprehensive school for skiing and snowboarding
Kawaba Ski Resort has six lifts and ten courses ranging from beginner to advanced, so you can enjoy it at any level of skill. It is also attractive that it is the only resort in the Kanto region that has a mogul course. There are also many schools available for those with little winter sports experience. In addition to regular ski schools, there are also snowboard schools and mogul schools to choose from, making it perfect for families who are just starting out in winter sports. There are age restrictions depending on the course, so please contact the ski resort directly for details.
