That’s such an amazing time skiing here last year in. February. We had two days from really really nice weather and great snow with the powder. We were travelling from Canada, I wish that we could be back there right now but Covid has made other plans for you. Please enjoy some photos

I love Kagura. Been coming here since I was a child. Kagura and Naeba are connect by bus and gondola. It’s a great mountain for all kinds of riders. The area also has lots of good Onsen’s and places to eat. It’s a bit of a drive from the closet station but worth the trip. Try and go on a week day, weekends get very busy.
Excellent resort. Piste and off-piste skiing, access to Backcountry gates, and a variety of high speed chairs, gondolas, and tram. The snow here seems more prevalent than other resorts in the area. The mid-station serves up some delicious food at well.
Best resort I've visited on Honshu yet! Plenty of back country, both accessible from the lifts and via a hike. Good rental options. Plenty of pistes for beginners. Good parks by Japanese standards. Don't bother with Gala or Naeba which are both more crowded and are lower altitude so have worse snow.
Kagura links to Naeba via the Drogondola but you can also just buy tickets for Kagura, which has 2 sides: Tashiro and Mitsumata. I only tried the Mitsumata side, which basically only has 2 beginners slopes. The \Family Course\ is too steep for a real beginner to enjoy. The \Gondola Course\ is nice but the connection from the base quad to the gondola is pretty steep despite being labeled green. Overall, not recommended for beginners. The main rental, locker etc are all the way at the carpark so no way to easily access your things while you're on the slopes. Great views though.
