Experience Hachimantai's Secret Powder

 

Where

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. 

 

What

Hachimantai Shimokura should be on your short list if you are searching for new powder mountains in Japan! Hachimantai Shimokura is well suited to powder hunters! Don't get it confused with Hachimantai Panorama, which is close by, but more suited to beginners or families. 

 

On the left is Hachimantai Panorama & on the right is Hachimantai Shimokura. Two of the runs at the top area are of Hachimantai Shimokura both non-groomed. The black run on the left called Diamond Course is actually 37 degrees! Imagine the morning after the dump!
