Get thereアクセス
From Tokyo Station
- Train
- Tobu trains to Kinugawa-Onsen, then a short walk to the Kinugawa Line Kudari landing for the free weekend shuttle.
The shuttle runs on weekends and holidays only and needs a booking by the day before.
The nearest station is Kinugawa-Onsen. Tobu line; the shuttle leaves from the Kinugawa Line Kudari landing nearby.
Carry chains or fit winter tyres; the resort asks every driver to bring them.
Edelweiss sits on Keichozan above Kawaji Onsen and shares the Nichien road with Hunter Mountain. Nikko's tourism site counts eleven courses, served by five chairlifts, from the 400 m Family slope to the 1,800 m Technical course and the Dynamic, which pitches up to 30 degrees. A mogul course opens when snow allows.
Weekdays are the draw. A 2025/26 adult day ticket cost ¥3,500 from Monday to Friday against ¥6,000 at weekends. The car park holds 1,500 cars and costs nothing.
On weekends and holidays a free shuttle leaves the Kinugawa Line Kudari boat landing at 9:00 and Ryuokyo at 9:10, and returns at 16:00. Book it online by the day before, since seats are limited.
Worth knowing
- Come on a weekday; the adult day ticket cost ¥2,500 less than at weekends in 2025/26.
- Snow scooters are banned on the slopes, and the resort stopped taking dogs in 2018/19.
