This map could hold the secrets to Japan’s ultimate powder skiing road trip

If you were planning to ski world-class powder in as many resorts as possible, you’d be hard pressed to find a better area of Japan to begin than the Joetsu-Myoko region depicted in the interactive Google map below.

The handy map spans 15 resorts and includes crowd favourites Nozawa Onsen, Myoko Kogen ad Shiga Kogen, up-and-comers Madarao and Lotte Arai (our 2019 Ski Asia Awards winner) and a handful of lesser known resorts that are likely completely off your radar – like the interestingly named Cupid Valley Ski Resort.

Simply click on the ski resort icon for a brief summary of the resort, and get planning!
