Naeba Prince Hotel and Naeba Ski Resort (Location: 202 Mikuni, Yuzawa-machi, Minamiuonuma-gun, Niigata Prefecture; Managers: Ken Kawata, Yuji Otsuka) are pleased to announce the new vision for the Naeba area, "NAEBA SCALE." With the tagline "Let's Play with Nature on the Naeba Scale," we aim to create new experiential value set against the backdrop of majestic mountains and vast natural environments. We aspire to be a resort that unleashes visitors' curiosity and allows everyone, from children to adults, to fully enjoy the charms of nature.
Leveraging our accessibility, approximately 2 hours from the Tokyo metropolitan area, and our refreshing highland environment at an altitude of about 900m, we will further expand activities in the summer of 2026 that families and children can enjoy all day long. By enhancing the appeal of the green season, we will evolve into a mountain resort that can be enjoyed year-round.
Expanding Activities,
Evolving into a Mountain Resort Enjoyable Year-Round
~ From 2026 onwards, we will continue to expand activities to create new experiential value ~
Naeba has long been loved by many as one of Japan's leading snow resorts. However, in recent years, travel styles and leisure activities have diversified, increasing the demand for enjoying nature throughout the four seasons. In response to these changes, we have formulated the new vision "NAEBA SCALE" to evolve the magnificent nature that Naeba boasts into a value that can be enjoyed not only in winter but throughout the year. Moving beyond the framework of a "ski resort," we view nature itself as a playground and are expanding a variety of activities and nature experiences such as trekking, mountain biking, and disc golf. We aim to become Japan's largest mountain all-season resort by 2030, evolving into a destination resort where everyone, from children to adults, can experience the charms of each season.
Activities Scheduled for FY2026 (Partial)
- Various Trekking Courses
Choose from a variety of trekking courses, including beginner courses in front of the hotel, a 4-hour course to the summit of Mt. Takeyama, the "Hiraoka-yama" known for its alpine plants, and "Mt. Naeba," one of Japan's Top 100 Mountains.
