Charmant Hiuchi snow resort has only three lifts but huge humid snow (high water content) in a day and "not pisted" entirely of its area. Because of its location that is very close to the Sea of Japan, the snow always contain a lot of water.
If you have strong legs, it is worth visiting. At the day we visited, it was a weekday and only 50-100 customers enjoyed fresh-heavy-snow!
Far behind the resort, we could see the mountains near Mt Hiuchi.

One day with a storm of snow, we headed to Hinoemata village.


Snow fell down every time after we arrived with not a moment to spare.


The snow falls continued through the night, and at 6:00 am next morning, the depth of snow reached 70 cm. One night, 70 cm of snow!! It's almost disaster.


It took more than one hour to remove snow falls to drive our car.


No one can walk in this historic deep snow...

If the condition is good for mountain climbing, we can enjoy as follows:
