Ski Resorts in Japan with the Best Japow #6 - Geto Kogen
Geto Kogen ski resort used to be a hidden gem in the Tohoku region of Japan. Known for its abundant snowfall, Geto Kogen is another ideal destination for Japow lovers looking for the ultimate Japanese powder experience. You can still see some locals at the resort hunting for Japow as well.
One of the best things about Geto Kogen is its amazing snow quality. With an average snowfall of 10-15 meters, there's always plenty of fresh powder for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy all season long. The resort is not as crowded as other resorts on this list, therefore, for Japow experience, this is good. However, because it's relatively small compared to other popular ski destinations in Japan, this might discourage some visitors who want more terrain options. Additionally, getting to Geto Kogen takes some planning and travel time since it's located in a more remote area.
Accommodation choices at Geto Kogen are limited. The resort only has a dormitory and a few hotel-grade rooms available for ski-in, ski-out stays. While this means the overall cost is lower, the hotel experience may not be as luxurious or comfortable compared to other resorts on this list. Alternatively, you can stay in Kitakami town and commute to the resort by bus each day.
