A look back at ski areas from Japan’s past 過去の日本のスキー場を懐かしむ
Hotaka Bokujo
Katashina Village, Gunma Prefecture
武尊牧場スキー場 群馬県片品村
Hotaka Bokujo was a ski area located on the eastern slopes of Mt Hotaka in Katashina Village in the northern region of Gunma Prefecture. Unlike many ski areas, the upper section was wider and more open than the base area. Hotaka Bokujo used to be very popular with snowboarders who consistently made up 90% of visitors. In the later years, the number of people using Hotaka Bokujo was less than half those of the peak years. Investment in the ageing facilities was considered difficult and the closing of Hotaka Bokujo was announced prior to the start of the 2016-2017 season. The top area is still used as a camping site in the summer months.
