Frequently asked questions

Where is Takasu Snow Park?

Takasu Snow Park is in Gujo, Gifu Prefecture, in the Okumino ski belt. It is roughly two hours from Nagoya by car, which makes it one of the main weekend resorts for the Chubu region.

Is Takasu good for beginners and families?

Yes. Takasu is known for wide, long, well-groomed runs and a large beginner area, and it is one of the easier big resorts in western Japan to learn at.

Can I ski Dynaland on the same trip?

Dynaland sits immediately next door and the two areas are commonly skied together, with combined tickets offered in most seasons. Check the current season's ticket page before you go.

When is the Takasu season?

Takasu normally opens in December and closes in early April. Snowmaking supports the lower slopes early and late in the season.

How much is rental at Takasu?

Expect around JPY 5,000 to 6,000 for skis or a board with boots for a day at the on-mountain counter. Shops on the approach road are cheaper. Current prices are listed on the Takasu page.
