Uchiyama

Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture

内山スキー場 長野県白馬村

Uchiyama was a small ski area located in the Uchiyama neighbourhood of Hakuba Village in Nagano Prefecture. It apparently opened in 1963 but only lasted a few years as much larger ski areas developed nearby. The Snow Harp cross-country skiing venue built for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics is in the same neighbourhood.
