Naeba Family

Yuzawa Town, Niigata Prefecture

苗場ファミリースキー場　新潟県湯沢町

Naeba Family was a small ski area about 2km from Naeba Ski Area in the southern part of Yuzawa Town in Niigata Prefecture. There was one single lift at this ski area and it was surrounded by holiday homes. Other than that, for now, not much confirmed information can be found about Naeba Family - even various locals couldn’t shine much light!

Further Information

  • Naeba Family is thought to have opened in the 1970s

  • In the limited records that can be found, this area was known as Naeba Family Ski Area  苗場ファミリースキー場  or  Naeba Family Gelande  苗場ファミリーゲレンデ
    　
  • There was one single lift and one ski run
    　
  • The lift was removed
    　
  • Naeba Family seemed to be (at least thought of as) part of, or an extension of, Naeba

  • The area is surrounded by private holiday homes and buildings, and there are now clear 'No Entry' signs around the two road entrances
