Kyukamura Kazawa Ski Area Closed

Kyukamura Kazawa Ski Area was a ski area in the Kazawa Onsen district of Tsumagoi, Gunma, a place where students had been holding ski camps since the 1920s. The national holiday village association built it in 1963 with two single chairlifts of 322 m and 437 m. In the late 1970s it was one of several small hills around Kazawa and Shin-Kazawa, alongside Megabuchi, Shin-Kazawa and Murakamiyama. It stopped operating after the 1995-96 season, leaving Kazawa Highland, today's Kazawa Snow Area, as the only ski area in the district.
