Nekoma Mountain
Enjoy one of the biggest ski slope in Japan
Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resort will be reborn as "Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain" after being connected by a connecting lift in the 2023-24 season.
Nekoma Mountain spans the north and south of Mt. Nekomagatake and is one of the largest big slopes in Japan with 13 lifts and 33 courses.
Two expressive areas straddling Mt. Nekomagatake from north to south
Nekoma Mountain is a ski resort where you can freely go back and forth between two expressive areas, the Bandai area and the Urabandai area.
Urabandai Area
The Urabandai Area is located on the northern slope of Mt. Bandai, and is characterized by its unique topography and environment, resulting in high-quality powdery snow called "microfine snow." Because of the large amount of snow, you can enjoy a long season from early December to Golden Week.
Course Variations That Satisfy Middle-Aged and Advanced riders
The variation of the course that middle and advanced riders can satisfy is also the charm of Necoma Mountain. You can enjoy the sliding according to the condition, such as the compressed snow barn, the non-compressed snow course with steep slopes, and the park.
The night course is about 2km
Open: 2024/12/31, every Saturday from 2025/1/11 to 3/8 and 1/12,2/23
Open: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Park with world-class players
The high-level park created by the staff who have handled the world championships will make the slope an even more fun place to play. The park will be set up from the first day of opening. You can try various items by level from beginners to top professionals.
0 minutes walk from the ski slope and the hotel is right in front of you.
Hoshino Resort Bandaisan Onsen Hotel is a great location for ski in and out. You can enjoy various activities to experience Aizu culture as well as hot spring and meals.
A soft hot spring that soothes the fatigue of skiing.

Skier first hotel
During the opening period of the ski resort, there are a lot of services limited to guests, a first ride on the slopes first thing in the morning, and a 2:00 PM check-out where you can take a bath in the hot spring and go home in a good mood.
