Naeba trail map guide

Who it suits

Works for mixed-ability groups and families who want a hotel at the base: the course list has 10 easy, 6 intermediate and 8 advanced runs, plus a children’s area near Naeba Prince Hotel.

Terrain to know

The 24 runs fan out from the hotel-side base to Mt Takenoko. The 4 km longest run and steep upper courses give more experienced skiers room beyond the lower green runs.

How to read this map

Start at Naeba Prince Hotel along the lower edge. Trace a green return before heading uphill; the Dragondola on the far right is the connection toward Tashiro, not a lift back to the hotel.
