シャトレーゼスキーリゾート八ヶ岳, Ski resort in Kawakami, Japan.
Chateraise Ski Resort Yatsugatake has six slopes across compact terrain suitable for families and intermediate skiers. The runs sit at elevations between 1,500 and 2,000 meters, helping maintain reliable snow conditions throughout the season.
The facility opened in 1989 as a venue serving beginner skiers and families from the start. Chateraise confectionery company acquired the site in 2002 and renamed it, upgrading equipment and streamlining operations.
The resort sits near the Yatsugatake mountain range, an area with deep skiing traditions in central Japan. Visitors find a friendly, low-key atmosphere focused on access rather than prestige.
The location is most easily reached by car with ample parking available for visitors. Beginners will find rental equipment, heated rooms for warming up, and clean restrooms with all essential amenities.
The resort has a special connection to Chateraise confectionery company, which also runs a candy-gift program for visiting children. This unusual blend of skiing and sweets makes the place particularly fun for family visits.
