Ryuoo Ski Park plans to open on 5 December, two weeks earlier than last season

Ryuoo Ski Park plans to open for the 2026-2027 winter season on Saturday, 5 December 2026. Last season it opened on 20 December, so this start is about two weeks earlier.

The resort has not announced its closing date yet. Its green season ends on Sunday, 8 November 2026, and the resort then prepares for winter.

The resort has only published the opening date so far. We will update this article when it publishes more details for 2026-2027.

Ryuoo sits in the Shiga Kogen area, about 3 hours 15 minutes from Tokyo. Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano Station, the Nagano Dentetsu train to Yudanaka, then a free shuttle bus.

Most resorts near Tokyo announce their dates between September and November. We track every confirmed 2026-2027 date, and explain how season timing works, in one place: When Do Honshu Ski Resorts Open?
