One unique part of skiing in Akakura Onsen is the option of night skiing.
Nighttime skiing is cheaper, with tickets for 2,500 yen for 5PM-10PM skiing, weather permitting.
The slopes are shorter than the daytime courses but not as crowded so that skiers can have more space.
Most accommodations will offer complimentary drives to the night skiing area, but double check to make sure.
Ski rentals are available just for night skiing, but for those staying overnight, keeping the skis is advisable. The paths are wide and well lit, making the slope easy for beginners.

Even if skiers are not staying at the European style Akakura Kanko resort, they should still check out their slopes.
The Kumado slopes are the highest in the Akakura onsen area.
Both beginner and advanced courses are offered, and even backcountry terrains can be accessed with the proper gear.
Akakura Kanko receives about 13 meters of snow a year, creating strong ski conditions from December to April.

Access to the Kanko slopes are through the Sky Cable Terminal.
A one day ticket costs 4,300 yen and prices get cheaper through family and multi-day packs. There are ten trails for all levels, including the Championship trail for advanced skiers and a kids park for those too young to ski.
