Summer at Mt. Kuruma Ski Resort

Breathtaking views and great hiking

Mt. Kuruma in the wintertime is a thriving ski resort. In the summer, you can take the main lifts up to the top to see the same gorgeous views without breaking a sweat. Getting to Mt. Kuruma is pretty difficult without a car, but those with a car will find the drive up just as spectacular. This is a great location for those who love great views and a good drive.

There is a small restaurant on top that offers a great view of the surrounding area, and there is a great soba buffet at the main lodge below.
