Best things about this place
| |
Kagura is close to Tokyo ... it takes just a few hours from tokyo station. Kagura is also at a very high elevation and has good snow. It also has snow late into the season. You can usually snowboard there on golden week (end of April). |
Worst things about this place
| |
Kagura is unbelievably crowded. There are loads of beginners sitting all over the mountain. They don't run gondola downloads so you have to snowboard for about 5 kilometers of flat ground when you leave at night. It really sucks. You also need to use one of two lifts to exit at night and there is always a long long line. Expect it to take an hour to exit at night.
At lunch it is hard to find a seat and you will have people standing over you waiting for your seat. |
Advice

I don't like Kagura because it is crowded. But I am spoiled by spending a lot of time in Hokkaido. My Japanese friends love Kagura. So maybe I am wrong. There are nice views of a lake on some of the courses. |
