NEKOMA Mountain has officially joined the prestigious Ikon Pass, the world’s premier ski pass.
Experience the legendary Japanese winter in Aizu, the heart of Fukushima Prefecture. This historic region, famous for its samurai spirit and traditional crafts, is now easier than ever to explore for international skiers and snowboarders.
NEKOMA Mountain, one of Aizu’s premier ski resorts and celebrated for its ultra-light “micro-fine snow,” has officially joined the prestigious Ikon Pass, the world’s leading ski pass. This partnership invites you to combine world-class skiing with an authentic cultural journey.
Located in the scenic Urabandai area, NEKOMA Mountain boasts an expansive terrain perfect for all skill levels. The resort’s claim to fame is its unique, inland-specific powder, a remarkably dry and light texture that provides a weightless, world-class skiing experience.
The resort offers stunning mountain views, challenging tree-run areas, and long high-elevation courses, all blanketed in this highly-prized snow.
Your Ikon Pass adventure unlocks more than just pristine slopes. The Aizu area is a rich cultural hub, easily accessible from NEKOMA Mountain:
Aizu is the perfect destination for a combined city and snow trip. From Tokyo Station, you can reach NEKOMA Mountain in about 2.5 hours via train and local transport. Enjoy the hustle of city life in Tokyo before effortlessly transitioning to the quiet, snow-covered mountains of Aizu.
