Mikawa Onsen Ski Area trail map
Mikawa Onsen is a town-run ski area in Aga, about 40 minutes from Niigata City on the Ban-etsu Expressway, valued as a close local hill. Pair lifts serve ten runs, from a wide, gentle main slope and an easy forest trail to the ungroomed Dynamic course, which reaches 38 degrees. A snow-play area for small children makes it popular with families, and the Mikawa hot springs are close by. The 2025-26 season ran from January to early March.
