Shingo Daiichi

Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture

神郷第一スキー場　岡山県新見市

Shingo Daiichi was a ski area in what used to be Shingo Town, now part of Niimi City, in the northwestern region of Okayama Prefecture. It is unclear when the ski area opened, but initially, it had just one single lift. In 2004 it got two new pair lifts, though the ski area does not seem to have remained open beyond 2013.
