The ski park sits behind Yumoto Onsen at the head of Lake Yunoko, about 90 minutes by bus from Nikko station. Tobu Kogyo runs three pair lifts and four courses, A to D, plus a flat snow park in front of the Nikko Yumoto Lodge where children learn to walk on skis. It caters to families and school ski trips.
Natural snow is all it has. In 2025/26 the opening slipped past Christmas and the season ended on 18 March, two weeks early, so watch the site before you book. Lift tickets cost ¥4,000 for an adult day in 2025/26, and the lodge rents skis or a board for ¥4,000 a day.
Mt. Nikko-Shirane rises behind the village, and the ski park publishes an evacuation plan in case it erupts. Check JMA's volcanic warnings before you go.
Worth knowing
- Combine a morning on the snow with a soak in Yumoto's milky sulphur water in the village.
