Aomori Spring Ski Resort, Ski resort in Ajigasawa, Japan.
Aomori Spring Ski Resort sits on Mount Iwaki's northern slope and offers 14 ski courses with 545 meters of vertical drop, served by four lifts. The facility includes the Rockwood Hotel with ski-in ski-out access and on-site equipment rental.
The resort was previously known as Naqua Shirakami Ski Resort before adopting its current name and direction. This transition marked a shift toward year-round recreation in northern Honshu.
Visitors can experience Japanese winter sports traditions through modern facilities, including outdoor hot spring baths that overlook surrounding peaks. The combination of bathing in warm spring water and skiing reflects how the region connects natural features with leisure activities.
The resort operates from December through April, with equipment rental and English-language lessons available on-site. Staying at the on-site hotel provides convenient direct access to the slopes for your entire visit.
From the gondola at 921 meters elevation, you can see both the Sea of Japan and the Tsugaru plain stretching below. The slopes wind through natural beech forests, creating a wooded setting for your runs.
