Bandai Ski Resorts

Multiple ski resorts can be found on the slopes of Mount Bandai in Fukushima Prefecture and the surrounding mountains. The resorts offer courses for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, high quality powder snow and an attractive natural surrounding that includes Lake Inawashiro.

There are over a dozen resorts of various sizes in the area, some on the southern front side of the mountain (Omotebandai) and some on its backside (Urabandai). The resorts typically open from early to mid December to early May. Some offer shuttle bus services to Koriyama Station (the nearest shinkansen station) or Inawashiro Station.

Mount Nekoma is a large ski resort on both sides of Mount Nekoma, just besides Mount Bandai. It was formed by the merger of the Alts Bandai and Nekoma ski resort in 2023. A lift connects the two ski areas across the top of the mountain.
