• What is Ryuo Ski Park?

Located in the Kita-Shiga Kogen area of Nagano Prefecture, Ryuo Ski Park is a
snow resort centered on the Snowboarding beginner experience. With its
'Japan's #1 Snowboarding Debut' declaration, it has long invested resources in
helping first-time Snowboarders get on their boards. The resort features a
dedicated Snowboarding beginner practice area where you can practice in
sequence—from putting on and taking off the board, walking on snow, and
stopping, to basic gliding and riding the lifts—without having to join the
crowded main slopes from the start. The park's multiple gentle slopes also
provide ample space for those not yet familiar with weight shifting to adjust
at their own pace. English support is available in the beginner area, ensuring
international travelers can understand instructions and safety tips even
without Japanese proficiency. For those who do not have their own gear and
simply want to try snow sports, this is a very accessible starting point.

• What can you experience at Ryuo Ski Park?

After mastering the basics in the beginner practice area, you can move on to
the next level of slopes. The wide and flat valley area is perfect for
consolidating turns and speed control, while the summit area, with an average
slope of about 10 degrees and well-groomed surfaces, is a comfortable place to
practice continuous turns. The entire resort has a vertical drop of over 1,000
meters, and the long-distance experience of riding from the summit to the
base—a run of about 6,000 meters—is Ryuo's signature. The dry powder snow
unique to high-altitude areas offers a distinct feel compared to lower-
altitude resorts. Time off the slopes is just as rewarding—take the world-
class 166-passenger ropeway directly to the summit, where the 1,770-meter-high
SORA terrace offers a view of mountain ridges. When the weather is right, you
can see a magnificent sea of clouds, making it a great place to rest, warm up,
and take photos. The package includes snowboard equipment and ski wear, so
just bring your warm clothing and gloves.
