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.
