Due to the bad weather, today’s ski lift operation is cancelled, as well as night operation.

Due to the rainfall last night and this morning, we need to delay the opening day of the ski area. Temporarily, we set it on January 4th, 2018. Sorry for your inconvenience, and please wait for further notices.

This year seems to be more snow than last year, and so the ski slope should open earlier. Please check our “announcement” or official FB page for opening information.

Choei Lavender Park and Hokusei Ski Area

[Update] As of December 19th, Opening will be delayed. Please follow our HP or FB page for further updates, thank you.

Today, the event coordinator announced that “Nakafurano Petit Marche,” scheduled in the end of January of 2018, has cancelled.
