Overview – A Close Ski Resort to Tokyo by Car

Kamui Missaki Ski Resort, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture is just 112 km away from Tokyo Station making it a close ski resort to Tokyo if you access the mountain by car (it takes about 1.5 hours by car).  There is no direct train access so to get there you must use a train and a bus (it takes about 3 hours by train and bus).  Certainly, not a close ski resort to Tokyo if you are looking for a short transit time.  

The data differs a little bit between Openstreetmap.org and Kamui’s website.  According to Kamui’s website, there are two novice runs, two intermediate runs and one advanced run.  If you click on the run at the top of the mountain, you will see that the slope is only 22%.  That’s not much different from the beginner runs.

There is a small area for kids, Kids Town.  They offer a magic carpet to take you to the top of a small slope.  There is a separate price of Yen 700 (2024) for the Kids Town.
