Daisen Ski Resort & Winter Stays — Use a Private Villa Just 5 Minutes Away
2026 Season Management Change Pending | Details to Follow

Updated: June 2026 | Category: Area Guide / Ski & Snow

Daisen Ski Resort is one of western Japan's most notable ski resorts, set at the foot of Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture. Each winter season it draws skiers and snowboarders of all levels with its powder snow and sweeping mountain views. The ideal base for a ski trip here is HALE MAKAWAO — a private whole-villa rental exclusively yours, just 5 minutes by car from the slopes. Ski all day, then retreat to your own private house — no shared spaces, no other guests.

Notice

Daisen Ski Resort is expected to change its management structure from the 2026 season. Details on lift prices, runs, and operating schedule are not yet confirmed. This page will be updated once the new arrangements are announced (expected around autumn 2026). For the latest information, please check the official Daisen Tourism Association website.

After Skiing — Hot Springs

The classic finish to a ski day here is a stop at Goen-yu-in (豪円湯院) in the Daisenji area — a day-use hot spring just a short drive from both the resort and HALE MAKAWAO. Soak the fatigue out of tired legs, then head back to the villa fully refreshed, ready to wake up and do it all again tomorrow.
