It's a very fun place and worth a visit. I went there with my family during Christmas in the winter of 2024. The snow scenery was beautiful, and I saw the legendary cute monkeys soaking in hot springs in the snow-capped mountains!

We had to wait quite a while to buy the lift ticket, but the lift itself was easy to get on. There were wide courses on the side, so it was great that even beginners could easily practice on the slopes!
