Myoko Kogen - Snow Monkey Resorts

Myoko Kogen

Sitting at the southern tip of Niigata Prefecture, Myoko is known for its massive snow and multiple ski resorts. Less developed than the nearby resorts of Nozawa Onsen or Hakuba, Myoko retains a distinctly Japanese character. Boasting a huge amount of snowfall each winter, it really is one of Japan’s best destinations for powderhounds in search of fantastic backcountry. Outside of winter, Myoko is a place of wild landscapes and bountiful farmlands. Hiking the mountain trails opens-up the pristine landscape of Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park while some of Japan’s best seafood markets can be found on the nearby north coast.
