Tanbara Ski Park is a premier resort facility located in the Tanbara Highlands of Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, specifically designed for enjoying snowboarding and skiing. The facility boasts 8 diverse courses that cater to a wide range of skill levels, from absolute beginners to advanced enthusiasts. To make it a truly family-friendly destination, the resort includes a dedicated snow park and kids' areas, ensuring a safe and fun environment for children. Beyond the winter season, the park is famous for its stunning landscape of blooming lavender fields in the summer, making it a year-round destination.
The Tanbara Highlands are renowned for their rich and abundant natural environment. This facility has been developed to leverage these seasonal shifts, operating as a dynamic winter sports hub during the snowy months and a scenic botanical destination for enjoying lavender and greenery during the summer. It is a beloved location where visitors can experience the harmonious coexistence of local nature and seasonal-based tourism, offering a way to connect with the changing face of the Japanese highlands.
The facility features 8 distinct courses designed to match various skill levels. Whether you are an experienced snowboarder looking to sharpen your technique or a parent introducing a child to the snow for the first time, there is a perfect path for everyone. The inclusion of a snow park and specialized kids' areas provides a secure space for families to enjoy snow play together. In the warmer months, the transformation of the landscape into a vast, fragrant lavender field becomes a major attraction for photographers and nature lovers alike.
The peak season for skiing and snowboarding runs from December to March. For the best experience, we recommend visiting in the mornings when the air is crisp and clear, providing excellent visibility for your descent. Conversely, the summer season offers a completely different charm, where you can feel the refreshing highland breeze while walking through blooming lavender. Because the activities change so drastically, we recommend choosing your visit based on whether your primary goal is active winter sports or peaceful nature appreciation.
In addition to downhill skiing and snowboarding, the resort offers structured lessons through its school application services. This is an excellent way to master new techniques under professional guidance. The facility also houses restaurants and shops, allowing you to take a break for a meal or a warm drink without leaving the premises. For families, the dedicated kids' area ensures that even the youngest visitors can interact with the snow safely and comfortably.
Tanbara Ski Park is situated in the high-altitude plateau area of Numata City, Gunma. The surrounding region is dotted with various accommodation options and other sightseeing spots that showcase the natural beauty of the area. You can easily combine a trip to the ski park with other local attractions to create a multi-day travel itinerary in the beautiful Gunma highlands.
