Yonezawa Ski Resort trail map

Yonezawa Ski Resort sits beside Route 13 at Tochidaira in the south of Yonezawa, Yamagata, about 8 km from Yonezawa-Hachimanbara IC, which makes it an easy stop by car. Eight courses spread over roughly 300 m of vertical, from the gentle Naka-no-daira slope and a forest trail up to the 32-degree Dynamic course, so beginners and experts alike are covered. Five chairlifts serve the area, and with rentals and a place for sledding it also works for family snow days. There is a ski school, and events such as student days are held during the season, which runs from late December to late March. A city bus runs from Yonezawa Station.
