Hachimantai is located in Iwate prefecture which is in the northern part of the main island. It is about 2 hours 30 minutes by Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Morioka (Iwate). From Morioka, you can catch a bus directly to Hachimantai, which takes about 50 minutes.
Hachimantai includes Hachimanai Panorama and Hachimantai Shimokura.
Hachimantai Panoramo is more suited to beginners or families.
Hachimanatia should be on your short list if you are searching for new powder mountains in Japan! CAT skiing and Backcountry skiing are available at Hachimantai, which we can book for you!
There is no accommodation at Shimokura so the best option is to stay at Hachimantai Hotel & Spa at Panorama & catch the free shuttle bus
