The ski resorts Panorama and Shimokura, both making up the Hachimantai Ski Resort, are full of fun avenues for visitors to enjoy their time in the snow. At Panorama’s “Hachimantai Winter Land,” there are myriad ways for children to play! The whole area is surrounded by safety netting and stocked with sleds, snow tubes and other equipment for younger visitors to use for fun and excitement. The snow escalator will bring you safely to the top of slopes, and mini-snowmobile and banana boat rides offer a fun way to slide back down! There are also tandem rides available. All ages are welcome. (Note that some activities are charged separately) In 2021, the resort also introduced the “Prefectural Forest Rafting Course,” where visitors are tugged on a thrilling ride through a preset course on rubber rafts by snowmobiles. The ride is designed to be exceptionally stable, so even children and seniors can comfortably experience cruising through the forest’s pure-white surroundings. In 2023, Hachimantai Ski Resort introduced a new activity: tree run tubing and tree run tubing. You will ride a special sled and glide 300 meters through the forest. Enjoy a thrill like no other.
