Zao Hot Springs Ski Resort is one of the best spots to snowboard and ski in the region. Its family-friendly feel means the little ones can also enjoy some fun in the snow.

Zao Hot Springs Ski Resort is frequently visited by travelers to Zaoonsen. But this snow-covered mountain shouldn't be your only stop around this part of town. Zao Sanroku Ropeway is not too far away and worth exploring.

Hotel is a 20 minute walk from the station. It is right in the middle of shopping, and very near temples. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and kind. Would recommend.
