Hakka Kogen Ski Area Closed

Hakka Kogen Ski Area stood across the national road from Muikamachi Minami Ski Area (today's Muica Snow Resort), on the route toward Hakka Pass in Minamiuonuma, Niigata. Its first lift dated from 1958, and in the early 1960s it was known as the Chujo slope of the Muikamachi Onsen ski grounds. From about 1987 it was run together with Muikamachi Minami as the Hakka slope, with one pair lift, three runs and a hotel annex at the base, until it was dropped after the 2005-06 season.
